alright, my mom's Boyfriend has an old blue Schwinn stingray fastback that is in pretty good shape, except for tires/tubes/cables. i mean good shape like paint is good (if i clean and polish should be very good but does have a few scratches), chrome has light surface rust that i can probably clean up with steel wool and Flitz metal polish. but the tires are rotted out, cables need replacement, and it has some really ODD handlebars on it as well, not original but im sure vintage. He wants to sell it as it really does not good to him and i cant buy it either, no money and its too small a bike for me. from some of the e-bay sales, i think i should get at least 300 from it, because with tires and cables aside (tires can be found on ebay for 50/set), its in way better condition that some ive seen. I know he wants at least 125 out of it, but i think its worth more.

would it be worth putting new tires/cables or is it worth more selling as is and letting buyer restore? it also has a dyno bottle and front headlight as well as a spedometer. its a 5-speed with the 8-ball shifter...

heres a pic...:



thanks for any info i dont really want to ebay it but i know i wont get anything on craigslist around here. too many cheapies haha
