what is a schwinn runabout
Because it was a part of history especially for the middle baby boomers who are in their fifties and are coming of retirement age and want to reconnect to thier youth,or to simplier times,and of course the classical stlying and quality.
Bicycles as a rule don't end up being particularly valuable as collectibles. Your best bet is to browse ebay, craigslist and such to see what similar bikes are selling for.
Schwinn first produced the Schwinn Krate in 1963. This bike was characterised by a small front wheel and large handlebars, making it look like a chopper.
Schwinn Bicycle Company was created in 1895.
