I found this at a antique shop with a 450 firm tag on it I got the number of the guy who has it for sale is that a fare price on it? It's really clean.

I would say if its what you want, go for it, as far as price it seems more on the top end especially in todays economy , and I would expect it to be closer to mint, just my opinion.

Not even close to a $450 bike in my opinion. I think $200 would be the high end of the scale for it. It's very plain other than the handlebars. Just think of the other bikes that $450 could buy. I sell clean, higher end Schwinns for less than $450.

Nice bike, but I think its priced way to high also.

If it caught your eye! (sounds like you like it) just because it says firm doesnt mean firm most of the time! just keep in touch with him and I'll bet you'll be posting in the Fresh Finds before long. Tom.

Seems way high to me also.I have only seen one fair priced bike in an antique store(bought it).Normally they are 3-5 times beyond the value of the bike.Example- at our local antique store is a late 50's JC higgins girls tank bike (the box tank,ugly as imaginable) fair shape.Id see a bike guy paying 50.00 to 75.00 max for it.They have "made in 1930's" and 375.00 on it--typical antique store.

Lots of fish in the sea my friend. Save your pennies and get something a lot cooler for your money.
