Not a Schwinn, just your standard Raleigh 3 speed. $100 maybe. They’re heavy with all the steel but they’re pretty bulletproof..
The front brake is missing the barrel adjuster so be careful until you replace that. Fíx it, Clean it up and enjoy it.
I haven’t checked Craigslist lately for old Raleigh 3 speeds, but in Minneaoplis these would be ‘llisted’ in the $100 – $150 range. What they actually fetch, don’t know. These are really fun bikes to ride. I sold an older one several years ago, don’t recall the price but sometimes wish I still had it.
I ride the Lake Pepin 3 Speed Tour every May, it’s an 80 mile 2 day ride around southeastern Minnesota. You have to learn how to ride slow, stop a lot and enjoy 2 days of putzing around. It attracts more than 100 people and everyone rides an old 3 speed. You can’t have more fun on a bike.
