Who knows the value of these things, beyond whatever someone will pay? :? I really like those frames 8), I'd say $100, + 50 if you fix the wheel.

WOW :shock: I'm gonna fix the wheel :mrgreen:

There was a post on the Cabe about these recently. Apparently around '62, they made a Newsboy Special with this style frame! ..Still wants one! -Adam

The LBS near me trues wheels for about $16 out the door.

Worth while investment for this bike IMHO.

Good find!
