To Keep Or Not To Keep

I've been working away from home for the past 2 1/2 years and built up a cheap steel framed single speed to ride. I've probably got about $400 into it and have ridden it for many miles. It is really dialed in and fits me perfectly. I'm returning home soon where I have two other bikes, a carbon road bike and another single speed, both built up with quality components. Neither have I had the chance to ride much but am looking forward to using.
The question is, should I spend the money to ship the cheaper single speed home or sell it (or give it away) before I leave. I'm leaning toward giving it to some kid who might get some use out of it but there's a chance he may just turn it around for a couple of bucks. My problem lies in the fact that it really fits me well and has become a good 'buddy'. I tend to personalize inanimate objects. I wonder if any of you have faced the same issue.
