Personally I like 3-speeds. IMO it's a much more sensible "retro" setup than riding a fixed gear on the road. I like that style of handlebars too, it's a little like riding a road bike with drop handlebars but you're not hunched over.

You don't have to ride "in the drops" on drop bars.  Most people do not ride in the drops most of the time.  There are three common bar positions on drop bars:
- in the drops
- on top of the levers (most common)
- straight ahead like straight bars, inside of the levers

I realize that and I used to ride a lot on a road bike with drop handlebars, but personally I prefer the style of the ones in the OP. My commuter bike is set up similarly but the frame is from an old French road bike.

I don't have a pic handy, but picture something similar to your bike with a beat up red Gitane frame (probably also from the 70's or so) and no fenders or chain guard. The gearing is something like 44/15 and the brakes are vintage Mafac Racer center pull brakes.

Are you handy OP?

If so, I'd take a shot and trying to clean it up and restore it.  Use it as a sweet "retro" commuter or something.  As others have mentioned, the ebay auction is worthless until it actually sells.

I have actually seen them sell and fetch a high dollar like that but more often you find them at garage sales for 20 bucks. You would have to find one hell of a dedicated collector to fetch those prices. Don't hold your breath. and Lol at the bike snobs that pay. 5000 for a bike and think that its more than just a bike... so much as to call this bike a POS.
Anyone that knows their old school schwinns would know that the quality of them were 10x better than modern bikes.
