That black Raleigh sports is really nice... is a keeper. If it is working properly, you could easily get $200 in the spring. Knowing where you are from and looking daily on the Allentown and Reading CLs as well as anything for local pickup on ebay, other maybe the women's Ralegh sports will bring you $50-$75 as is, maybe $100 with some TLC. The Skyrider no more than $25-$35 and I am not sure that the little bike is worth your time. On the other hand, it will be a prime candidate for this (https://www.communitybikeworks.org/index.htm) place and there will be a very thankful child.

Nice pickups!

Nice pickups!
I have about ten or so random bikes that I have gathered to donate to CBW. Do you think that they would use the little schwinn? There is a guy not far from me that gets very excited about older schwinns.... I was planning on trading him the skyrider and the baby schwinn for some boys 20" bikes to donate to the CBW. Are you involved w/ the program? PM me if you have any other info (I've been on the website, but want some firsthand experience input). Thanks

Your sanity is intact, depending on what you paid and how much time you have toj put into them.
They all look like major cleanup, but no major parts needed. I like 'em all.

If flip profit was the sole motivation would the OP be better off exchanging the Brooks (assuming good condition) for a donor seat and selling the Brooks separately?
