Help identifying a bike
I found a bike I really want but the guy is asking what I think is too much money.
It was a Schwinn, basically new but I doubt its a "New" bike, it was in a basement of a pawn shop/trading post.
It looked similar to this
Sanctuary Mens - Cruisers - Bikes | Schwinn Bicycles
But it had gears, it wasn't a fixed gear. It had a huge soft seat that looked amazing and I must have this bike I just don't know what it is and I really don't want to hassle the guy to see it again (its buried in his basement)
He was asking 250 btw and wouldn't budge even when I offered 200 cash.

i think i'd skip it. pawn shops mark up if it's a recogisable name, so even if it's just a cheap walmart schwinn (i don't know if it is or not) they'll say it's top dollar item.
with $200 i'd give craigslist a serious look.

Would someone mind telling me what the value of this mid-60's Coast King girl's coaster? The bike rack seems missing with only the brackets remaining. Thank you!
