This is most definitely not a collector's bike. With a new set of tires and general rehabbing, it will sell fast on C-list for decent money. Rigid mountain bikes are the commuter bike of choice. Might even keep it as a loaner bike. My buddy pulled an 80s era GT out of the trash. He loves it. After getting two nice new Diamondbacks stolen, a theft resistant toad bike is perfect.
