What do you mean "worth" restoring?

Do you mean whether you can sell it for more than the restoration cost? Or whether you will have a good, rideable bike when you're done? If the latter, it partly depends on what you want/need.


Btw, don't just "throw some tires" on it and ride. Before you tide it, be sure that the bearings aren't dry. Riding dry/congealed bearings can quickly make the restoration include new bearings.
