    What should I pay for this 40's schwinn?

    Hey guys. I found late 40's Schwinn World Tourist almost exactly like the one in the photo. The only difference is it doesn't have the speedometer and is a single speed with a wide flange read hub. Its the same color, has the same brakes, etc. The chrome is in a bit worse shape, but the decals...

    Cover your head!

Its something else. I cant get the the bolt that runs through it all the way out. It twists and twists but...
