Schwinn Madison - fair asking price?
I hope this is the right place for this.. This bike has been sitting in the garage under my condo for about a year and I have decided to sell it because it was always a bit big for me.
I really do not know much about bikes and while I realize that some of these components are pretty decent, I am not sure how much I could reasonably get (on craigslist or similar) for it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

I can't giv you a specific number, but whenever I'm trying to decide on a asking price, or sense of worth, I shop the net, ebay, craigs list, etc for comparable items and use that a a guide.
Once I have a range, I'll set the price at the high or low end depending on how motivated to make a fast sale I am.

Well...........................it's really not a classic or vintage bike with the threadless fork stem. Plus, it doesn't have a model name that rings a bell either. It looks like it's got a fixed gear system. And, only one brake lever. Who knows? If it's a nice lightweight thing - like less than 22 lbs. It might be worth something. Just a WAG - $75.
