My dad is clearing out the garage and wants me to take his old bicycle to the tip. I don't know exactly how old it is, my grandad bought it for him when he was about 10-12 (my dad was born in 1955) He doesn't want it taking up space anymore and claims it was never really a sought after, quality bike. He doesn't think it's worth anything but I think it would be a bit of a shame to throw this bicycle away after it's survived this long.

It's a red Dawes D'artagnan, condition; I'd say reasonable, although it probably needs a bit of fixing up.

I just want to know if there's any kind of demand for old bicycles like this, if it's worth putting it on ebay or some other website or if there's anywhere I could give it away to rather than just sending it to the local rubbish tip.
