Bicycle

Yesterday was trash day in my neighborhood.  As I walked up the street, this sweet little bike was leaning against a dumpster.  The former resident of the house passed away last month.  I know because I talked to her children who had been returning on the weekends to clean out the house.  This weekend, apparently, they  were cleaning out the garage.

This is a 3 speed bicycle, probably from the late 70's or early 80's.  I haven't had a lot of time to research this one yet.  The tires hold air, the brakes work and the shifter shifts.  All in all a nice little bike.  The only thing wrong with it is that the chain guard is missing.   I'm going to do a little research on this to see what I can find out.  It's labeled as "First Class."  I can find no other maker marks.  Maybe its a diamond in the rough?

If nothing else, it will find its way into next months garage sales.

Estimated resale value: $15 - $20, but perhaps more.
