I have a vintage Schwinn tandem from the first year they were made after WWII. It has been restored (rechromed, repainted professionally). It does have a vintage but not original 3-speed rear hub. Any ideas what it is worth or how to sell it? Thanks

There was a member here looking for one a few months ago. You might do a search in the Tandem forum.

Three recommendations:

1. Contact Larry Black at Mt. Airy / College Park Cyclery and pose your question to him. He is a bonified tandem and classic bicycle authority. Email: ABikie@aol.com

2. Visit the following Web site: http://www.thecabe.com/
They have a series of forums where you can ask questions regarding valuation of your restored "Classic" and as well as their own classified ads which are geared towards your target audience.

3. After learning more about the potential value range, post additional ads to:
a). http://www.tandemmag.com/classified
b). http://www.tandemclub.org
