Don't want to know a value....don't care!
The bike was given to me today and don't know when they made these.
And what would you do with it if it was yours?

hmmm...I was looking at a mongoose XR200 I have that got a broke frame and a bent wheel....maybe... wonder what parts would fit...hmmm

East Hill says good job with the photos!

That rear tyre/rim does not look to be original, and it's got cottered cranks. What kind of components are on there? It looks like one of the 'retro' cruisers, rather than an original. I don't think it has a lot of value, so perhaps transplant components to another bike?

That's an Ashtabula Crank, and the frame is a Columbia Clipper frame. I's not a bad old cruiser. EH is right that it isn't a huge $$ bike, but it'll be a nice cruiser for ya just the same. :D

Tom is correct--don't ask me why I wrote cottered--too much hard cider for me :o !

Still, if you list the components, we may be able to narrow the date a bit better. My 'user assistance' reply would be--ride the heck out of it :D .
