almost forgot...what would be a decent offer for this bike in its current condition? thanks again!
 
In my opinion, 25, maybe 50 bucks tops. Everything but the frame (which is cool), and the crankset, looks pretty much like burnt toast. Others may value it more highly, due to type.

Thanks, I actually gave $40 for it but i bought it from my grandfather, so it was still worth it.

well the bike is done, with the exception of a few accessories (I have to find them first!) let me know what you think!
sorry for the bad pictures...

quite simple, and i love it. it rides very well, with the exception of a wore out seat bracket :lol:
 
thats the same place i put my rear reflector. mine has bbeen knocked off twice, but looks like you got a sturdier bracket.
 
Double Nickle, cool, im from Canton, so not too far away. you wouldn't happen to have a bike headlight you would sell for cheap would you? I figure that is all the bike lacks, that and a set of hubshiners!

X-RAY, I just finished the bike so it hasn't seen alot of use yet, but so far so good. it is quite a sturdy bracket, it came of an old walmart mountain bike, i bent the bracket a little to get the look.

Thanks,
Michael
 
I just sold a black headlight but I have a chrome headlight I would sell for cheap....
