Would you spring for it?

Unless the rims are alloy, I (personally) would not pay that much.

Bad angle of photo or is the fork bent?

Like Brent said, if alloy wheels, maybe. I like the stem, the chainring is boring, and I'm pretty sure that's a full (crappy) repaint... blue crank arms? :roll:

If it had fenders and not been re-painted maybe but as it sits I would try to get it down to $40-$50.

Months ago I saw a red one for just under the same price in way worse condition and the other ones I have seen are painted the same way but different colors including the crank & sprocket were painted so that one seems original and way better looking in the blue & white than the red bikes.

Good to know, but for the price, I don't know what you are getting that is so special (ugly seat too, I have one in black).

The lines on the frame are really choppy, a canti frame should be smooth, this one isn't.

I don't think it's that special just the blue is better than the red.

Here is a few in red.

Looking at the above link I think I have a crank & sprocket of those but's chrome, Found it.

Now that I see the "name brand" on the bike, I'm thinking this is a $45 bike... tops.

Considering the parts I'd feel safe at $50, a nice wheelset will cost you that, plus it has a nice whitewalls, a cool fork and stem to throw on a klunker project, a big comfy seat (Might need re-covered though that white is hideous), and some beach bars that would look great if you cut the foam off of them. I have a very similar '80's Schwinn cruiser but with a chrome fork and kinda burgundy frame.

Thanks everyone. I came to all the same conclusions. $40.00 or $50.00 would have been easier to drop on it. I contacted the seller and passed.
