As I age, these despised women's style bikes are getting more attractive. Easy to mount! If someone wanted something to ride around the neighborhood, with some basic maintenance, it would be a fine choice.
Now where I live, we have these things called HILLS, can't leave the driveway without facing some serious hills.
+10 On painting. Clearly it has already been painted, poorly. So if you want to paint it some other color, go for it. Mask over the chrome and head badge, don't paint the chain guard.

Please don't confuse ebay "asking" prices with "selling" prices. Many sellers never get their ask price. some are far from it. Value is determined once an item actually SELLS. Its easy enough to check SOLD prices.
