Fuji retro coaster.
Looking for some thought's on my recently built failed horror bike a 78 Fuji sports light touring bike redone as SS coaster fairly nice Cro-mo Stee tange frame with nice original chrome
tange fork fairly good paint and chrome. OK semi modern coaster SS wheel set with decent tires OK crank and BB with nice cheap but new pedals. Rides and brakes fairly good and curbs at just over 20lbs with a nicer seat and light alloy seat post sans the safety brake one could get it down to a really spooky 17-18 danger zone bike.. This is a 8th bike for me so it will likely be going back to the thrift store from which I got the frame and most of the parts for free or cheap. Just would like a ballpark to tell them what to ask for it. It has been a decade or so since I have priced or sold nicer SS revuild.

zukahn1, for a Fuji such as the one below, the asking price in my area is $90 - this is of course not as old and vintage as the bike you started with and not yet made single-speed
For single-speed bikes, the asking prices revolve around $200, but I cannot say how much the real transaction prices descend to - a coaster should call for a further discount (I think) - with better prices if you are in an area where one can target students who could use this bike for roaming on campus or in areas where beach cruisers and their coasting features are more mainstream

No idea on price, my last coaster was a lifetime ago, but I really like your build.
