Thanks, it really is a nice bike. Really happy I found it.
Nah, I'm not saying they are worth $1250 necessarily. I'm just saying the only listing I found for one was for $1250. Are the ones you looking at the King Size version? If so, do you have some links or pics?
As far as the other site...
Thanks! Yeah I picked her up at an estate sale a couple weeks ago. I knew absolutely nothing about vintage bikes but it was just too cool looking to pass up. She was hiding under a lot of surface rust. It took a lot of elbow grease to clean.
From what I've researched the standard American's are rare and go for around 200 and in not as good condition. I've only been able to find one King Size for sale online for 1250. Granted it's in cherry condition.

From what I can tell the King size version of this bike is very hard to find. Is that true? If so, how much do they typically go for in this condition?
