Yeah, it was a 10 min ride over to goodwill to look at it in person. After picking it up... I felt ok with bidding. I've got a lot of really old Bmx bikes. I think after looking at a few thousand bikes and learning to spot quality welding, a tire , hubs or break cable to see if it's worth buying. You get the knack of finding stuff. I once chased a truck through a parking lot after spotting a rear dropout... picked up DG looptail cruiser for $100 bucks. Worst case.... I can sell it to a FSU student who will instantly turn it into a Fixie & break even.
