My cycling days are over and I want to empty the garage.
I swapped this bike for some furniture in 2006 and although it is not in perfect condition, it does work and was a really nice ride.
All I did was fit new tyres, the old ones had perished, as far as I can tell the rest of the bike is original.
Condition
There are rusty spots which will clean up a bit but will I make it worse?
The right hand rear hub downtube is slightly bent, not by me, should I straighten this?
The question now is whether to sell it as is for an expert to make new, or clean it up and sell it.
The serial number is 8001855 and I think it is 1987/8 and the frame id 23.5".
Any guidance would be appreciated.
