Can anyone tell me anything (including value) about my vintage bicycle?

Question

I have a red and white All-Pro bicycle. It's about a 20 inch. It's a one speed. It has those rubber tires that don't use air. I would really like to know the value and the year. Sources on where I could find information about it would be helpful as well.

Answer 1

Probably not worth much.

Answer 2

From what little I can find, it appears that All-Pro is/was a department store brand. It's strictly garage-sale fodder. Anything is a collectible to somebody, but I don't think your bike is going to be much in demand.

Answer 3

Wow... thats a name I haven't heard in a looooong time.

All Pro was a brand sold at Pep Boys and some other auto parts stores back in the late 60s and early 70s. I think they may have been sold by Sears as well.

Unfortunately, these bikes were not- and still aren't- considered either of good quality or collectible. The semi-pneumatic tires are also a clue... the bike, once the tires wore out- was expected to be trashed.

If the bike is in absolutely perfect condition- I mean unridden- it might be worth $15 or $20. One of my first bikes was an All Pro. I recall the head tube snapping off of it and my dad teaching me how to braze... my first attempt at frame repair at age 9!

EDIT: It just came back to me. It wasn't Pep Boys and Sears, it was K Mart!
