Schwinn World Sport
I traded some manual labor for this World Sport and I'd like to know the approx value. My biggest question is, should I put flat bars on it and leave the BMX style levers on it (the high rise bars are awful) or put a set of drops on it (only thing I have laying around are Modolo anatomic bars, turkey levers and a new set of tektro aero levers). Also, any monetary increase if I leave the rear rack on? I have a more appropriate seat I can throw on, so that's not an issue. The bike rides well, just needs tires badly, they are falling apart and needs the RD adjusted. That seems to be all, let me know what your thoughts are. Thanks

That looks like a '90 World Sport. Not a bad bike at all. Small size and that rack are a plus. Get some drop bars. 14 sp, 26ish lbs. New tires and ready to run, I'd say $150 around here

As is, $30 to $40. With drop bars, sorted out, matching tires, new cables, bearings, grease, a correct seat, $175. Price includes premium for small size. Rack does not fit very well, it detracts from value around here.
