Now this is what's great about going to many of these bicycle meets you do not see the same make and model bicycle you see quite a few individual bicycles this is what I love about the hobby everybody talks to one another everybody's friendly and usually you can find the parts you need for your particular bicycle or if not a complete bicycle that needs a good home that's just what I love about this Hobby.
these are all very interesting. Just recently, I picked up what I presume to be a 1948(?) Schwinn Model D97X bicycle for $250. It's in really good shape but the tyres are flat and the chain is stuck. rolls really good though. I'm looking forward to getting the old girl to move under own pedal power for the first time since the 1950's. For context, the guy I bought it from, it was his wife's grandfather's iirc. said grandfather had to go to a home or something and so it was put in the rafters of a barn. Clearly it was nice and safe there because it's with me, in as good of shape as ever.
Quite a ride down memory lane, thank you for posting. And realistically, how much would a collector or enthusiast pay for that first bike, the green one from Chicago? I mean, surely there is value to these, but anywhere near a 150 grand for that one? I just can't see it.
Thanks for your reply and just this past week I noticed in front of a local auction house an early-model bicycle propped against the wall, evidently on its way to a new home, and it is fascinating to think that the hills of Central Pennsylvania are still alive with vintage vehicles of all sorts. But I would imagine the price bubble for antique bikes has popped a bit, much like that of Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Still, to get one or more at a good price would be cool and cheers to you for having a collection. And maybe one of these days I'll have one or two, too.

150 grand, luckily being crazy doesn't hurt.
I wonder if he would take 149,999.99?

Does he mean it isn't for sale?
The Allstate safety tread tires are practically white wall slicks with no traction and little use for any wet pavement.
You guys might like to take a look at some vintage bikes I have on my channel.
