Correct, 0.2HP. I really want a Schwinn. Realize there are better bikes out there, but I really just want a 70s Schwinn.
I've been surprised at how much some of these owners are asking for their vintage bikes. Maybe southern California is an inflated market? Maybe nostalgia is priceless? I don't know. But, there's been a pretty consistent one or two hundred dollar gap between honest bikeforums appraisals and the CL asking prices.
Thanks a ton for the insightful post. Learning more and more by the day. Maybe one of these days I'll actually be able to contribute meaningfully!
