Lavender Fair Lady

[biss-ness]

So I try not to buy too many girls bikes but I couldn't pass on this one. I have never seen another color like it. This one's dated '77 and called luscious lavender :roll:

So what do you think , is it a rare color or just another girls bike for parts?

I been messing with Schwinns for a long time and that's the first I have seen in that color. Cool find.

I've got a pink 1977 20" Schwinn Hollywood in pink, nice shape, like yours. That one would go for around $100. Yours is a color I have not yet seen, either so I would believe it to be worth even more than mine. I would definitely try to piece her back together, there are thousands of '70s Schwinns more deserving of the parts bin than this one.

Here is a similar bike that sold in a more common voilet color:

Generally, the common blue or green ones don't fetch much. Violet, light blue, pink, and I guess now Lavender though hit higher marks.

me too, I've had sunsets and kool fastbacks, even a terrcotta or rose bike. I almost bought a white stardust, but I thought this one was different enough for a few bucks. I am still looking for a black original stingray 8)
