So this popped up on my local Craigslist yesterday but I didn't notice till this morning. I was really surprised too because usually there are only vintage girls bikes that people are asking $100+ for. So this morning I was scrambling to email the woman with the bike, but I couldn't pick it up because I was at school but she agreed to hold it for me till school was out. So I went to pick up the bike, paid the lady and thanked her for holding it for me and went home. The bike is in great shape. It's a little rusty but that doesn't bother me. It's missing both fenders, the rear rack/reflector, and chain. But I'm just glad the tank is there and in nice shape. The front springer fork is all there but the chrome is flaking off. Planning on restoration? Or I'll wait and use it for the build off(;

For the price, I was ecstatic to pick it up!!

Fork alone is worth the purchase price, tank & chainguard worth a chunk too! Great find! 8)
 
I guess its the weather that's getting people to bring these bikes out. Just in the last week there's been I think four old bikes on my local craigslist. Usually there's just a few 60's girls bikes that people are asking $100-200 for.
