I explained to her that what I mostly do is teach bicycle frame building and painting classes so I wouldn't be much help. Your step through Schwinn makes getting on and off easier in sidewalk traffic. And its nicks and bruises keep it from being a theft target. The mom said she had a list of other parents all searching unsuccessfully at bike stores to find anything for their kids to ride on campus. I bet you could flip it for a decent price to some parent.
Btw if you had not seen my earlier posts here in c/v here is the $35 mystery road bike I picked up in June. It’s in really good condition. I think if people spent some time looking in the marketplace ads they can definitely find decent bikes.
