Patrick - That is really cool that you remember tthem when they were new, I am always interested to hear what the opinion of them was back in that time. And I have a flightliner with a redband kickback, I am working to get it rolling right now. Armand - These things are only worth something to someone who wants them, but if it's in good condition, you might get at least 100-200 in some markets, or even more in others. Just depends on where you are sometimes. I'd hope that it's more to you as a fun project bike to fix up and ride! You'll be glad you did. McD – That sounds awesome, I’d like to see pics!

I think it is a 1963 front springs on fork. What's it it worth? I got one just like this all original & unrestored sitting in my barn. I think it is a 1963 front springs on fork.

I found one abandoned on a bike rack in Chicago. I sat out there the day the City was going to remove and junk it. It was a total basket case, with only the frame, forks and chainguard. I chopped some old chrome Schwinn road bike forks and extended them 2 1/4 feet. After adding some "ape hanger" bars and a blck banana style seat, the bike looks great and I get compliments on it wherever I go. Nice. I found one abandoned on a bike rack in Chicago.

There is a light, but right now it doesn't seem to be functional. I haven't really messed around with it to find out why yet. Would you want to take apart something so pretty so soon after getting it? Thanks! There is a light, but right now it doesn’t seem to be functional.
