I found this outside a local thrift store for $75. It's missing something on the front fender and the rear fender. The chrome is rusty, but I've had Schwinns that looked worse and cleaned up pretty good. I was wondering if anyone knew the year of this bike and was wondering if $75 was an awesome price or just what it's worth. Thanks!

If it's negotiable I'd offer 50 cash and ride the tires off it if you are planning to flip it and retire I'd just buy 50$ in lottery tickets IMHO.

Here in my area, $50-$75 is a very fair price for that bike. If cleaned up really nice and the two missing parts are found, it could fetch $250. Again, in my area.

Thanks! I did a little research and it seems to be a 1959. I tried to buy it before work but no one was there to open the store...maybe it's a sign!

I hope you got it. I paid a little more here in So, Cal for this one.

Sadly, I didn’t get it. I left work early 3 days in a row before I finally gave up. I’d be interested in seeing how your bike cleans up. Good luck!

Thank you. I will post a picture of it when finished.
