Advice needed.
I'm looking at buying my first project bike. I'd probably restore/modify it for my own use.
Does this look like a decent price for this bike?

Patience, friend; you can do a lot better for a lot less! Remember, vintage bikes are like buses : you wait for ages, nothing comes; THEN, suddenly, there's two or three at once!

Not worth the effort. Its a really low end/bottom end bike. Probably worth $70, but the real question is do you want something that junky? I would either hit the garage sale/thrift store circuit, or save up and look for bikes in the $150 price range. I have seen some decent ones show up on Atlanta's C/L. But you have to move fast!
