Wow that cool. Not sure its $4800 cool but who knows. Never seen a chainring like that before.

 

[Tailwinds]

Ooookay. Is there any valid reason why this bike's opening bid has been set at $4,800?
I'm thinkin' three hundred bucks.

Notice the auction ended with zero bids. Wonder if it will be relisted at 5% less of its previous price? :roll:

should start @ .99 no reserve in my opinion :mrgreen:

werent those town and country tandems supposed to have the 26x1-1/2" schwinn specific wheels on them ? i dont think it'll get anywhere over 3 (lower) digits unless it was all original.

If its that old maybe it came that way. I think the wheelset alone is worth a couple hundred. Its a nice clean bike but not worth that much, maybe $500 - $800 since thats a hard to find model complete.

Real nice. Maybe $1000 if you are into T&C's. I had a real nice Town & Country years ago. Not as much fun as it looks. Rather spend it on a Paramount Tandem, then again I would rather not spend it on a tandem.

You know, I was thinking a grand or under, then I saw the third pic and it looks like a bad repair weld.
That's almost half of what they say my truck is worth.

Never seen a chainring like that before.

They were used on tandems and New World lightweights with cottered cranks. Find one of these babies for a 1 piece crank and you've got something. I've only seen two of those AS&CO 1 piece chainrings in the last 20 years. They're very scarce.

If you think $4,800 for a tandem is expensive, you haven't priced many tandems.

 

[Schwinnspastic]

I must live on a different planet cuz most of what I see on Ebay lately is paiced out of this world.

 

[c.p.odom]

Got one of those cranks in the garage.

Wow...id rather by a used 1970's harley.. :mrgreen:

Right now you can buy a very low mile 5 year old Sportster for that!!
