What is the typically cost of say a 1970 Schwinn Orange Krate in good to excellent condition? How difficult is it to find parts for wear items, such as the front drum brakes? If any one has one for sale, please contact me.
Message:
A five speed, stick shifter Orange Krate in
good to excellent condition would go for around $1100 - $1200.
Parts are not too hard to find, Schwinn still makes some
replacement parts.
Message:
Schwinn didn't make a Roadmaster model. Roadmaster is
a seperate manufacturer. What does the bike say on it's
chainguard and headbadge?
Message:
$50- $60?
Message:
Well, you didn't state the tire size, but if
26 x 1.75, figure $250 - $300. If tires are 26 x 2.125,
figure $325-$375
Message:
Do you mean rod brake or _drum_ brake?
At any rate, maybe $250 - $300

A year ago, I was given a 1960s Western Flyer (London Flyer to be exact). It is a three speed, and I have the original tires (Dunlop double-stripe whitewalls), original wheels (Dunlop rims with Sturmey-Archer hub on back wheel, the front has six broken spokes, the hub has a cracked coaster brake ring), but I have the replacement parts installed (including the seat). I have seen only one of this particular model in the Southeast Kansas area. The paint is somewhat glossy, after having waxed it several times, the chrome is in beautiful condition, and it is in working order (due to the replaced parts), and it comes with the carying rack on the back. Including the orig. parts with everything else, What would it be worth?
Message:
I think that is a standard British 3-speed.
You might want to ask your question in the
'English Roadster' topic. The guys there are
experts. Same goes for the London Flyer.

I've got an opportunity to buy a turn of the century Iver Johnson safety bike in pretty good condition. Worth 400 bucks?
Also, I just picked up a bike by an english company called Drake. I have been unable to find any resources on the internet.
Is anyone familiar with these? Thanks,
Andrew
Message:
As for the Drake, try asking under the English Roadster topic.
The dudes there will know that brand. As for the Iver Johnson... I saw your
message under the "Hi-wheeler/etc" topic, and in that message you also mentioned that
you are just getting into collecting bicycles. Well based on that, I'd say wait on the I-J.
Not that the price isn't good. It is a decent price. But if you are just getting into collecting,
why not start off with a smaller junk. Another problem with starting with the $400 I-J is that you
might not want to do much to the bike once it is in your posession, 'cause you might end up messing
something up! No reflection on you personally, but if you're new at the hobby, you probabaly should
start with a smaller investment and get a bike that you can improve without
possibly hurting it's value. That just my 2 cents!

looking for info on 1970? coaster gray ghost. how rare is this bike? have seen shifter models but no other costers.
Message:
Good advice! I didn't realize--considering the prices I've seen quoted in
these discussions--that 400 bucks was that high. Of course it's a good
week-and-a-half's wages for me, so you're right, I should probably look
into something cheaper. The Drake is sort of a move in that direction and
that one was free! I'm still researching that one.
One other question regarding restorations. With many antiques it seems as
though the less you touch it the more valuable it is. On the other hand,
if you actually want to use the item (like a bicycle) you really have to
fix broken parts, treat rust, etc. Where do collectors of bicycles
generally fall on this matter? Thanks,
Andrew.

Message:
Sounds like early 1960s. The tank, rack and lights increase
it's value, but the fact that it is a ladies model .vs. mens model decreases it.
I'd say $200 - $275

Very rare. Made only one year. Even though it isn't
a 5-speed Krate - it is still a highly sought after bike.
If it is in good original condition, don't let it go for less
than $650
Message:
You'll find that kind of question asked in a lot of places
on this web site. It really is just up to you. I have a couple
'riders' that turn heads on the street, but are already pretty scratched up
so I don't mind getting them dirty, wet and
scratched up some more. But if you have an exceptionally clean original bicycle,
I'd say you are better off NOT riding it around, unless it is a dry day. If a bike has been
stored properly in someone's attic for many years, and is a nice clean original,
I'd think it would be worth your while to keep it that way. So... the solution? Obviously: have
some bikes that are 'show bikes' and some that are riders!
Message:
The locking fork and top tube shifter (the dial says "H-N-L", right?)
would be pre WWII.
Message:
Yes, still pretty low on your average Schwinn collector's
list. But they are bullet proof bikes with excellent paint colors. They make very good riders
and some day will start getting collector's attention. Probably only get around
$100 each for them, if they are in good shape.
Message:
Sounds like around $200- $250. It needs special tires, you might be able
to get them from your local Schwinn dealer.

Thanks to Kath for answering my question on value of my Schwinn 56 Corvette. Im going to strip all the original blue paint and replace it shiny black with white accents. Im going to take it to a professional sign letterer and have them reproduce the corvette design on the seat post and lettering on the chainguard. Im keeping all the original chrome rims,handlebars,light,rack and fenders. Im replacing the ww tires with new ww tires and the seat with a new black gel seat, the original blue grips im replacing with black ones. The chain, hubs and pedals are all good and still shiny. Im hoping this bike will be a real beauty when im through and I intend to ride it everywhere. Am I crazy for messing with an original, I dont intend to sell it, its my bike and I want to ride it. Should I hold onto the original parts that I replace or sell them to someone trying to restore another bike? Whats everyone think of this? Am I making a big mistake?

How much is a 1970 Cotton Picker worth? It is all original except for rear reflector. The chainguard needs restored. It has the original speedometer with 900 miles on it. I know it is hard to guess the value without seeing the bike, but maybe you could give me a range. Also, where is the best place to try to sell it?
Message:
Krate values are all over the place. I would guess your bike would be in the $650 - $800 range (but this is an unfounded estimate without more detail). Rust bucket Krates are selling in the $300 - $400 range and a '71 Grey Ghost Krate just brought $3100 on the eBay auction. The Cotton Picker is a two year only bike (I think -- the Grey Ghost was 1 year) so that adds to it's desireablity. Check the Schwinn Forums http://www.schwinn.com/Forums/Collectornet.html and subscribe or get a sample issue of Sting-Ray City News (P.O. Box 13343, Scottsdale, AZ 85267-3343). Take your time and do a little research. I sold a '65 Deluxe Sting-Ray too cheap when I was getting started with the hobby (it sold it about a minute after I posted it). The eBay Internet Auction seems to be a good place to get your best price. Search on completed auctions under "Schwinn" to get an idea of the prices http://pages.ebay.com/aw/search.html
Best of Luck! You have a very nice bike and should get a good price for it.

That bike should not have a black and white seat.
But the red frame with the orange (not yellow??) fork could be
right. Are you sure it is a '75? It sounds like a '77 and up, in which
case even the black and white seat could be right (is it a Sting-Ray II)?
Its probably worth around $200 if in good condition.
Message:
Probably $250 - $275
Message:
It sounds like you are measuring the frame (16") as modern bikes are
sized (along the seat tube). Generally older bicycles are measured according to
tire size (20", 24", 26"). That serial number decodes to 1961. And as you are finding
out, Schwinn chrome cleans up well. Does the bike have a tank, rack or lights?
Message:
What year? (check the serial number)
Message:
Sounds like a nice middleweight bike. Those have both
collectible value, as well as being a fun (and attention-getting) rider.
No tank or lights, right? Figure $175 - $225

Still trying to find out the value of a 1950's (probably '53) Columbia Newsboy Special. All original, decent shape. Original seat has one small tear at the edge (less than 1"), Original red paint has small scratches or nicks (especially the fenders), with very minor rust. White highlighted areas chipping, touched up amatuerishly by previous owner. No dents or bends. Chrome is good, with minor rust damage/pitting. Tires are perfect Goodyear studded blackwalls.

I have the Ross Super Deluxe in my possession now and would like to give you some more details about it. The serial number is R66114141 and the frame paint is still in good condition, though the paint is faded a bit on the tank and tail piece. It has 24" x 1.75" tires and still has the original tire on the front, though it has to be replaced. The wheel rims are "dusted" with rust, and small scratches and spots of rust appear on the frame.

The seat has the name "Mesinger" on the back, and the color of the vinyl is faded.I have no desire to sell it, but I do want a estimate on how much it would be worth.

I have a 1969 Schwinn Sting-Ray Pea Picker. It has been kept in storage and is in excellent condition. The front tire (holds air) is 16" and the back is 20" (slow leak). The serial # is HE29813. I have the original owners manual also. What would be a fair market price? I would like to sell it and I need to know how to price it. Thank you.
Message:
All original in excellent condition, and you still have the
owner's manual, too?? !! Don't sell it. It's only going to got up
in value, especially when the new Schwinn Sting-Ray repops come out this fall.
If that bike hasn't been mucked with (repop parts, repainted, whatever) then it is getting more rare by the minute. But if you need the money and have to part with it, don't take anything less
than $1200.

We have an old balloon tire girls' bike which we know to be from the 40's because it has been owned by the family since then. A decal on the seat support says "New England Cycle Company, 930 Westminster Street." This company was at the address from 1920-1956, and then moved to 334 Broad Street in Providence RI .The decal also reads Providence R.I. and Gaspee 0257 an old telephone number. It has accessories such as a light and is in good condition with its original paint which is blue and white.It has been kept indoors for over 50 years. I would like to hear from collectors and those knowledgeable about bikes from the World War II years. Thanks.

I found a Vista tandem at a local shop and the dealer wants $150. The bike was made circa 1953 and appears original, including the Kelly Springfield white-wall tires. The paint job is fair with some minor pitting. The chrome bars and fenders are in good condition with some light surface rust. I'm not familiar with "Vista" and was wondering where the bike was made and if $150 would be fair.

Hi folks,
Latched onto an old boy's bike with a tank and solid rear carrier. It's made by a Brooklyn, NY co. named "STELBER" and I'm guessing it's from the late 40's or early 50's.
Paint is red with white trim, original, rims were white (now mostly rusted), but tires are flat, rear might hold air, front ruined & blown out. Tire size 24 x 1.75. Saddle is red and white, ok but rusted springs underneath. Handlebars are salvageable, but rusted as well. Any input as to value before/after restoration (or where to get parts) would be helpful. Either post reply to board or email.
Thanks much,

I found a Sterling Tandem at a yard sale this summer. It is in good shape and the local bike sho said it was built in the late 1800's. It is a rear steering,spring loaded seatposts,tires,rims,and seats have been replaced (sometime in the 50's maybe the 40's)
No rust and the paint is faded but we took of the name tag on the head post and the original color is a med. green. It has inch chainning and original (not chrome) plating on the handle bars. More info please. Call me @ 810.233.7446 or Fax me @ lscott@lycosmail.com

I have a Schwinn "Hollywood" with a ladies frame, 26" wheels, blue paint, chrome fenders. I think it was made in October of 1967 because the s/n starts with JC000000, is this true? My father bought the bike about twenty years ago and paid approx. $20.00 for it , it has been in our family ever since. What I want to know is what the approx. value of this bike today. It has all original parts except the rear reflector. Minor scrapes in the paint and minor dents in the fenders chrome has slight surface pitting. I work at my local shop and last winter, when business was slow I repacked all the bearings which hadn't been done since new( I don't think). I'm going to take pictures of the bike and if anybody can tell me more about the bike it would be greatly appreciated. I can Email pctures if you like.
Thanks!

Doesn't anybody here do Monark or am I in the wrong discussion area? I've looked at all the archived stuff and found none mentioned. Anyway, my father-in-law has a 1940's (he was told) girl's 26" Monark in his antique shop. He's asking $125 and I told him he should probably up the price a bit. It is a sort of teal blue and white with some chrome on the frame and has chrome fenders. The huge chainguard is chrome with a plastic crown badge toward the front; "Monark" is barely visible and that is the extent of any legible insignia there. I can't see the headbadge because he's got it hanging from the ceiling in a jam-packed part of the store. I could, however, see that the coaster brake was a KOMET Super. The tires are not original and are 26x1.75. It has an original rear rack and one on the front that I believe is an add-on but looks to be pretty old as well. The seat is white and from what I can tell is in decent shape. The handlebars have been replaced and the grips are black so they likely have been too. It has a chrome horn tank that does not work. Serial# is 8866c9HO. Any info or direction greatly appreciated.
