  1. There may be a Schwinn collector out there somewhere who’d pay more because of the manual, but realistically you’ll probably get ~$100 for it.

    see if you can donate it to organization that fixes up bikes and gives them to people in need.

  3. It needs about $80 and a few hours to get it ridable. Current value is zero, future value is about $100.

  4. The used bike market is in the toilet right now, and this model was near the lower end of Schwinn’s lineup, I don’t believe it’s particularly collectible. It is in nice shape though, so after a thorough washing, you could try to list it for $100 and drop over time. But realistically I think it will sell around $50.

  5. It looks to be in good shape, but will need new tires, tubes, maybe cables. Old Schwinn’s are quality bikes – they’re heavy as hell but will last forever. There is a bit of a collectors market.

    I’d say $50-75 as-is. If you want to throw tires and tubes on it so it’s rideable and clean it up maybe $100-150.

    I used to ride a very similar Schwinn Continental. The decals on yours make it look a few years newer than mine. I bought mine for $50 and sold it for $50 a few years later. I recommend donating it to your local bike coop rather than trying to sell it. It doesn’t have much value as-as.

    Was that ever even used? The way the manual is strapped to the top tube makes me think this came off a bike shop floor only to be stored away.

    I could see someone using it as a beater bike; but that only fetches about $20 unless it it is in perfect operating condition.

  8. Man, if you are near Sacramento, I’ll buy it off you. That was my first roadbike and I’ve wanted another for the last 40 years.
