Out fishing with Annie on his lap, a cigar in one hand and a ginger ale in the other, watching the sunset.

First thing I noticed was the one piece ashtabula crank --- heavy and department store level component. Makes me think it must weight a ton and that the other bits are most likely on the low quality side also. If I go take a look, and if it seems to ride ok, what sort of price should it sell for? In my mind I am equating it roughly with the cheapest Sun EZ3 model -- does that seem about right?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Looks like a low qual clone of a Sun EZ3 variant
