Nice score either way..have no idea on a value..but want to ask...what are you using to clean up your rust ? I am restoring 4 20" bmx's right now..all chrome..all with minor rust...
 
Some RU`s added cool little twists to already proven frame designs and all at a very affordable price for alot of peeps. And this is no exception. Nice little bike.

There are several differing ways to clean that chrome up. What I like to do is start by getting a tote that is big enough to lay the frame in so it can be submerged, completely, in liquid. I`ve soaked frames in Oxalic Acid, wood bleach, with great success. I`ve also soaked parts in lemon juice with even greater success. The lemon juice is also greener. Here`s a little video, .38 secs, I did with some pedals that were completely covered in rust: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Wx1AMMG_Lc . Also the lemon juice is greener than the OA. Another thing people use is white vinegar.
