If it is a good choice, what dollars should I look at.

All depends on what you want to do with it mate. It looks nice and I reckon it will scrub up nice. id pay no more than $120-$150 for it.

Yeah Ads right Troy. If I was gonna buy a later model goose cruiser I'd get the alloy one for racing. Much lighter and better geometry for the tracks.
Its a cool bike. Depends what its for.

if youre after one theres a guy I race against every friday night who has one (of the new school alloy variety)and last friday he was making noises about selling, only catch is you might have to make the trip to gympie once a month or so and ride in our "dads" class. hes willing to let it go if it will get more riders in our class. Dont quote me but i think he only wanted $200 or $250 maybe and its got brand new dynamic 3 pce cranks and botton bracket. i'd buy it myself but i refuse to ride a cruiser.... its the surfing equivelent of riding a mal and im not yet prepared to admit im getting old.
buy it troy !!!!!and come race up here... its really casual and old jim chats to the crowd down canteen straight, so good chance you wont be last past the post.
