I am being offered a schwinn world sport road bike from 1995, just had $140 worth of work done to it, and I’m having it offered to me for $300. Good deal? It’s in very good condition and rides like a new bike I’ve taken it for a few rides. Just curious what some professionals may think. Oh one more thing it’s for a tall person (I’m 6′6″) and fits me well not sure if that ups the price or not.

I live in the great buffalo commons (Kansas) about 250 miles from any major shopping area. I would like to try a recumbant bike for a season before I invest in a new one. Where would I find used recumbents listed?
It is my brothers bike & he wants me to sell it because I ride a bike all the time ( a home made recumbent ) and he thinks I know something about bikes.
If I sell it I want to get him a very good price but be reasonable to whoever buys it.
I don’t know how old it is (it is a seven speed with index shifter on the down tube) shimano components
It has probably been lightly riden but I can’t be certain of that.
It looks very clean with little or no wear.
Any suggestions on how to sell it ? Not Ebay as we are not members / ?
Craigs list?
a local swap( how would one find a local swap)?
others
Should we he me wait till christmas or spring to try and sell or do it now?
How would you list it to get the most out of it?
