Known for a comfortable, smooth ride, these vintage bicycles are popular with collectors. They often feature Sturmey Archer internal gear hubs, making them ideal for, low-maintenance city riding, though they are heavy compared to modern bikes. Key Features: Primarily produced as a 3-speed cruiser, the Speedster was also available in different configurations and frame sizes ranging from 17" to 24". Design & Usage: It offers an upright riding position, making it a comfortable, stylish, and durable choice for city commuting. Condition & Value: Due to their age, many available models are from the 1960s and 1970s and may require maintenance such as new tubes, tires, or brake pads, though their simple design allows for easy repairs. Market Value: Depending on condition, vintage models can range from under $100 for projects to over $300 for well-preserved, all-original bikes.
