We all love these incredibly optimistic sellers and their overpriced offerings. But now let's ignite the afterburners and ascend into the outright delusional. $7.5K.

I'm guessing accidental extra 0 there. It is very clean, you gotta give it that! For $7500 though I'd expect the yellowed dork disc to be replaced.

It is cute.
Does it turn/flex in the middle? I think I'd have given the kid pedals, even if they weren't hooked to anything. But, with the head tube, the spacing is probably off.

Alas, poor PFB, I wonder the same about the misspellings. And don't get me started on bad punctuation.

Yes, Posting as a wacky Craigslist but could a reflector housing with no reflector be of any practical use to anyone as a restoration project, or repair part?
Schwinn Bicycle Rear Fender Reflector Housing - $10 (Carmel, IN.)
"Schwinn 1 3/4" diameter rear fender reflector housing only. Very nice condition. More information, please telephone. Thank you. John".
I guess I really need more information?

They do have one at the Budget Bicycle Center for the bargain closeout price of $17,999.00
https://budgetbicyclectr.com/1982-sp...icycle-22.html
For the asking price, I'd expect the bike to be immaculate.
I.E. A NOS rear derailleur. Perhaps replace the missing decals.
Is the bike supposed to come with those crazy expensive round pedals?
