Full nickel plate and some of the nicest lugs I have seen great looking everyting includings parts can be cleaned up easy to get it looking close to new. As for value I woul;d put put it around $1200 plus shipping.. Chances of selling it for full value locally are close to none yet there is a good chance someone here on the forums would buy this bike for $1000 or so and help with arranging to get it shiipped.
