Royce Union

While at a garage sale last weekend I came across this bike.
The woman said she thought is was from the early 60s. I didn't buy it because I don't know enough about it.

Here are a couple of pics...thoughts? Should I have bought it?

Bikes: Too many to list here check my signature.

For a rider it might be OK at $20, it is a single speed coaster right?



How much was the manifold?

Yes, it was a single speed...she was asking $75.00 OBO.
I thought it might be fun to restore but elected not to.

$75, I'd think twice.

Good thing you passed. $20 would have been more than enough, and you'd still have a lot of work to do on it before getting ready to ride it. Save your money for something worth it.

Bikes: one of each

For $75 you should get a Raleigh 3 speed in your size and color. Or maybe a Schwinn. Anything English should do.
