Hello everyone I’ve come here looking for anyone with knowledge of older style bikes and if anyone can tell me this bike I found in my apartment trash is worth anything it’s a nice bike and me and my boyfriend are curious about it thanks for any help! Also please excuse the mess we are cleaning our storage unit:)

It’s what’s known as a “mixte” frame where the top tubes go all the way to the rear hub. Not exactly worth a lot but people do like mixtes, it’s a great design that can be quite comfortable even using cheaper frame materials. This looks like a single speed with a coaster brake, so potentially alright for casual riding but probably not any major hills or anything.
It appears to be a promotional bike made by Linus for St. Germain liqueur. Supposedly only 100 were made.
Looks like a 1 of 100 promo bike based on the Linus Mixte frame.
Here’s a link to what I presume to be the model it’s based on: https://www.linusbike.com/collections/mixte-3i-mixte-7i/products/mixte-3
It’s a recent town bike bike made in a vintage mixte style, should be perfectly serviceable for getting around campus etc with minimal tune up.
Currently set up as a coaster brake only, so I’d add brakes to it before riding around traffic.
