I think based on the input above, I'll start her at $200! (I just finished ordering parts, came in at 58 bucks. Assuming I am able to sell it, I get to split the profits with my friend, and recoup the parts cost. at 125 or so, I wasn't sure it was worth the time I will have to put in to the refurb, but 200, definitely!) Thanks all!
As a fellow Houstonian you'll have to keep us posted. For being the 4th largest city in the US, I think our vintage bike market (and general bike culture) is incredibly weak. Tis a real shame given we can ride 365 days a year, albeit a little sweaty on some.
My opinion is $150 tops for a rideable mixte but hopefully you'll get what you want.
