Chicago Bicycle Company cruiser - 1990s

A friend of mine has a pink beach cruiser made by the Chicago Bicycle Company that she would like to sell. I have no idea how much it's worth and I haven't been able to find one for sale online that I might use as a comparison.

Wikipedia has an entry for this company: Chicago Bicycle Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The company existed from 1994-97. The bikes were made in the USA (Chicago & Vermont), and from the Wikipedia entry it sounds like only about 200 were produced, all with custom options, and with nice headbadges hand-fitted.

Any ideas what this might be worth? The bike's in very good shape.

From the pictures, it looks like a clean Chicago Bike. The value depends on what options the bike has such as number of speeds (3, 5, or 7 speed), drum brake in front or not, type of back brake, type of handle bars. I would say value would be in the $300 to $400 range. I would be interested in buying if your friend is interested in selling.
