What should I do with this 20" Dayton?

[jammer]

I found this one a couple of days ago. Being a stingray collector, of course I bought it for the seat. What about the rest of the bike? It looks fairly old, I wonder how old? Should I put an old seat on it and sell it, do you think it's collectable? I am not familiar with the Dayton brand. Thanks

It's a cute little bike. I say part it out, keep what you want and sell the rest.

Find an inexpensive period correct girls saddle. Keep the stuff you want. Clean up a tad and move it on. Good luck!

The persons seat is worth more than the bike...the sissy bar has some value..... probably not the original sprocket.... unfortunately girls bikes, especially non-schwinn 20" bikes don't have much value,even in original condition.....still a cool piece....

I believe the chain ring is correct.

I believe the chain ring is correct.

I assumed it wasn't, as it's so much cleaner than the other chrome on the bike ....

I am wondering about the chainring myself......Would the manufacturer have put that large of one on that bike??.....Also notice the C/G is missing....Food for thought......

Manufacturer wouldn't....a previous owner probably did...

Odd thing is the catalogs show just this sprocket set up with no chain guard.

The larger sprocket in the rear makes for the proper gear ratio.

Very nice! Thanks for all the suggestions and especially this catalog page.
