1959 Schwinn
A co-worker asked me if I knew much about vintage bikes, and I don't but he had a question anyway. He has a 1959 Schwinn bike, I think he said Paramount but it could be anything. He rode it as a kid, 24" wheels, and still has it. All original.
Any idea of its worth to a collector, if anything, assuming that it's in decent condition other than the dings a kid will give it?

Get some images, the more the better, be sure to include the drive side and the group can assist.

Can you get some detailed photos of the bike to post? Without pictures there's just no way to tell what your coworker has.

I'll direct him to this forum so that he can get it without filtering through me. As long as the group is willing to advise him on it.
