My new bike

[Jakegday]

Hey guys. I was looking around on local garage sale facebook pages tonight when i came across this bike. The lady was originally asking $75, then had lowered the price to $50. I thought this would make a great first bike for my son this spring, so i offered her $40. She accepted. Now im second guessing letting my son ride it because of how nice it is.

Anyone have any information on this? Like how old it might be? is it worth anything?

Has an early 70's look.

Very early '70s. I had a red one

Surprised the solid rubber tires are still intact

Very nice, great buy. Am certain it's better made then anything you would find new in that size

You have to give it to your son, seems like he was meant to have it.

I would take some B&W photos with him on it.

If you hold onto it and keep it pristine like this for another 40 years then your probably into some $$

I would send an email to http://antiquearchaeology.com/ and send over some detailed pictures and ask if you should be worried or not.

Very few bikes truely appreciate a significant amount. I highly doubt this one did- but I cannot say that for certain. I can say if I was in your position I would use and enjoy it for what it is, and classic kids bike.

I had the same bike in the 1970's. Once I learned to ridw without the training wheels, I graduated to a cheap 20" bike with a banana seat.
