Pending Muscle Bike Score

Sorry for the multiple posts today but had a lot to talk about. This is the last one i promise.

Last nite an ad came up on CL for a vintage Western Flyer banana bike for 35.00 with no pic. I called and he sent me this pic. No idea what it actually is and neither does the cellar. He found it in a basement. Asking 35 as is and says it needs tires. I want it but this is mortgage week so no cash until at least Tuesday. If he still has it im going for it. If his luck is like mine he will still own it.

What is it? Is that a 24 tire in back or possible 5 speed? Cant tell from pic but looks to be a pretty cool bike.

I just did a bunch of research for a similar bike I was looking to buy. That's an AMF Renegade. It's worth the $35 because it's in better shape than the one I was going to pay $50 for.

Indeed that is a cool bike at that price.

Can anyone confirm thats a 24in. rear tire with coaster brakes??

It's hard to confirm anything with the lack of resolution in that picture. However, based on how the front wheel fits in the fork I believe it's a 20", and based on the back wheel looking larger than that, it's safe to say it's a 24".
