Yeah, good luck to ya. I usually see some decent priced girls bikes on CL. Not sure if the that's what your lookin for. My girlfriend doesn't like the womens bikes, she only likes boys style bikes unfortunely haha. Would be a lot cheaper for me when I buy a bike for her, lol And na I don't know of any. I was going to ask you the same.
 
She doesn't know what she wants (as usual). I went to a swap a while back that was mostly antiques unlike the other few that I had been to recently that were composed of knockoff junk and new stuff. Can't seem to remember that name of it, I want to say it was in Mesa or Tempe
 
one thing is on the west states kids could ride year round i think deluxe bike may have been more popular,like in the midwest pplseemed to be more conservitive in there buying,we see mostley basic hdwe store bikes with an ocasional high end one,i asked some of my friends who grew up in the mdwest in th 50s and no one new anyone who hab a schwinn
 
Yeah went to 5 yard sales and 3 swap meets and the only thing i found that wasn't a walmart bike was a pair of handlebars
 
Arizona.. Boy I'm born and bred from Prescott, and raised in Phoenix,Mesa,Scottsdale,Awahtukee,Tempe, etc.. I really miss it out there, but boy the bikes came and went.. Must have had five stolen, at least three locked up. who knows where they went.. Anything with wheels is sought after out there. People like making mini dune riders and all with em and a lawnmower engine. Neat idea if you like the sands. I'm more a street person, so cruisers naturally.. Talk about HARD TO FIND in Arizona. I actually happened on an abandoned Electra with a front basket, females bike.. maybe a 2000-05 model. All black, silver and white.. seat was a sweet leather, with embroidered naming on the back. Gorg.. I felt like god on that til it was stolen some seven or eight years later in South-Western Oregon. If you WERE to say.. take a trailer out to the East Coast [where I am now, Rhode Island] and pick up some CL bikes.. you'd make a KILLING in Phoenix off them, just re-CLing them.. a little clean up and these bikes shine up nice.. many coming from college students who get more than one for Christmas.. traders not interested in certain models..or are bored trying to mix bikes together. Its a dream out here. I got my Flying-O with 60's plush rubber green sparkle Schwinn seat and handlebars for 40+20 to deliver closer, as I couldn't get the bus to his location. complete, and painted. that was last week, I haven't gotten off it since!
