These make nice basic riders but aren't worth a lot and are not really rare or very collectiable as many think. Only about $150 in near perfect condition.

Nice job, but I don't understand why you would put drops on it? Take better photos to maximize price.

Normally I'd agree, however in this case better pics would expose the fact that it has a 5-speed FFS/Positron drivetrain: Schwinn 1980 Bicycles And Accessories -- Suburban

Drop bars only serve to further drop the value on these.
