Will you be breaking the bike?? Shame if you do! But I would be VERY interested in the crank and rings! 
Thing is, when some (some - not necessarily you, I'm just using the indefinite article) realise there's something of a retro scene for bikes, they rock up, thinking their bike will be worth oodles, when in reality is probably worth very ordinary money.nigelm":falvj5ks said:
Many, though, split and flip bikes to score a dime, and many want bikes split because they want / need some parts.
So the answer is, if you want it as is - full, complete - then realistically, that's most likely if you keep it. If you sell it complete, it's not worth loads (perhaps to some, not really worth selling) - so anybody buying it will either be breaking it, probably selling some parts on - or you may find the odd, rare person that will keep it, and restore it as is.
That's not to say there's no sentmentality for old bikes, here - there is, in buckets. Just that the stars rarely align such that your sentimentality, is as valued by the person who may buy your bike.

If you've come in like so many others to say hello offer a bike for sale never to be seen again..then breaking the bike will get you the most money but nowhere near the 200 mentioned earlier
The reason why the hello see yas don't like to break it mostly is because they are unlikely to stay as bikes are not thier passion so they have either no skills or the tools to do so or both so I understand those who would prefer to sell it hassle free as one complete bike
A point to note...when you do put it in the members for sale section it must have a price or the thread will be locked
the complete bike is worth between 50-100 tops and yes because the bike is not that desirable you will get a lot of questions about breaking as with age the parts wear and people look for replacements so ask others to break as they only need individual bits
so as a complete bike you will get less but if it's easier for you then hey that's your choice and good luck with the sale

I'm interested in the whole bike at the right price and promise not to split 
Still suprised this thread has not been locked though, since it should be in the 'what's my xyz worth' thread.
