Already been decided. It'll get a tear-down and a rebuild, be test-ridden, and then re-sold for a profit. Any money I make will get re-invested in the Italian fleet that I own, cherish, and ride. I don't make a living at flipping - I have a real job that pays the bills. And to be honest, I'm pretty casual about it as my free time is usually worth more than the nickels and dimes I pull in flipping a bike. Mostly I just go on about life and wait for one to fall into my lap.

I do, however, like a hobby that pays for itself. Plus, I get to keep the cool tools and learn something new in the bargain. So - if a friend needs a hand with their bike, I can usually set it straight while we split a pizza in my garage.

BTW - thanks for pointing out the SS to me, I appreciate it. I have a 58cm Superia frameset in my garage that you can have, if you're looking for a project. It's not pretty, but it is sound.
