Wright Saddle
The asking price on this Hercules bike is $25. The craigslist picture was pretty small but I could make out a leather saddle. The seller sent me an updated picture which is attached. At this price, is it worth getting the bike just for the Saddle?

I really just want the saddle for myself. But this does bring up another question.. Would it be best to clean up the bike and sell (with a different saddle) or just strip and sell the parts?

Take the time to investigate the value of the cottered crank set. It might be worth more than the whole bike. I said might but it is worth a look, just in case.

Swap saddles and clean the bike up, ensuring it is safe to ride. If that does not work, then part it out, however...
