I bought one at a garage sale many years ago for $25. it probably didn't have more than 100 km on it. I rode it for many years until it was stolen.
The other bike is lower quality and its has the inferior Shimano 3 speed hub
Okay, I think I will buy them both as I got them both down to $60 Canadian which I feel these years isn't a bad price. However I have another question for another bike. This one has the original dynamo supposedly working but needs a new bulb and I've already found a fairly cheap led replacement. The bike has been fully serviced already and I can't get them lower than $160 but it looks to be in good condition otherwise. Is $160 a rip-off or just an average price? It's also a 1957 so I'm not sure if those should be more valuable than closer to 70's era. I've just started researching vintage bikes for a few weeks now so I have much to learn and appreciate all of the friendly and knowledgeable people I've interacted with so far on this forum! 😊🙏🏻
