so I'm not liking the fixed gear thing.

So i have been reading how everyone loves the fixed gear and single speed riding experience. I had an old Raleigh Rapide frame, so i built it up as a fixed gear/ single speed with a flip flop hub.

Now after about a year of owning it, I just really don't see the use.

So now I need to make the decision, what to do with the bike.
fixed side is not fun to me, single is kinda, but I am more at home on my more modern geometry geared bike. I do have the rear brake caliper i could put on as well, i thought about making it a single speed cyclocross bike, but I dont know i have a mtb for the dirty stuff.

is there enough demand for the parts to make it worth parting out? or do i just try and sell it on craigslist
what are these old converted bikes worth? I know I have about 300 in it. without the frame (i bought the bike as a project a while back, but almost all of the components turned out to be junk)
