It is a decent value for $50 in my opinion. It should be a good rider. Condition seems good without a lot of cosmetic work needed. I believe the three speed hub is a Shimano and not Sturmey-Archer, so dating the bike will be a bit tougher. I remember a good post about Shimano hub series by Kurt888, and that may be of help.EDIT: The post was actually Mos6502's, with Kurt adding valuable info.
