The seat appears to be a generic replacement and the grips are foam rubber beach cruiser grips. The tires may be original but I'm not certain. I Didn't realize the Pro Raiders earned that kinda coin. For me, the value is in finding the bike I wanted as a kid and lucking into it the way I did...
So we all have our "honey holes" where we maybe found a bike or two, a place where we go back to every once in a while because we found something special there in the past. Mine happens to be a resale shop not too far from where I work. It started years ago when I went in and pulled a Schwinn...
I've been running mine around 12 - 15 psi and ride it daily, with ease. This thing rides as good as or better than pretty much any single speed cruiser I have had in my garage. Mine is completely stock minus the decals. :D My wife tells me it rides better than her comfort cruiser.

I know this doesn't answer your question but I believe a bike is worth what a person is willing to pay for it or; how much fun you can have with it. $$$ wise, around here in eastern VA, they go from $60 - $100 depending on condition.
Re: Got a freebie BMX and it is so dang cool
Nice! All we find in the trash around here is old beach cruisers that look like they were used as speed bumps. Bent and broken! :D
Re: Took a Detour
Unsure how to decode the serial number. I have an 89 Detour that starts with the number 89XXXXX so I'm guessing the first digits are the year? I'm by no means an expert though and I only know mine is an 89 because the guy I purchased it from was the original owner and said...
