Schwinn Ontare. Good condition.
Value for a friend? I valued it at $150 as it sits. Needs tires.

For mine, I paid $300 for it...not sure if that is a good price, high or low...but...mine is in pristine condition and included all original components. This one seems to be in pretty good shape...and looks like the right components...except for that WONDERFUL saddle on it! Of course, that might just be a cover on the original saddle.

If you play up the collectible angle - only made in '88 - you might be able to get more than $300. But you'll have to put in some work: lose the gel pad saddle cover, give it a good bath, remove the electrical tape from the top tube, install new bar tape (preferably to match either frame color), tune it up, replace worn parts, etc.

This was the first frame Schwinn made under license from Klein. As such, it has the quill seatpost instead of a traditional seatpost / binder bolt arrangement. Remove the quill seatpost and check it very carefully, as they are prone to cracking. Good luck and let us know how it turns out.

Thanks, I posted this for a friend who just got it from his Dad.


Also got a 754 and a Tempo.

Duane,
I haven't seen it in person but I estimated the value as it sits at $150 to me. It's a $300 bike after new tires, complete overhaul, bearings, cables etc. IMO
That's if there is a Rolls under the seat cover.
