+10 On a bike like this, the wipe with a rag will always end up ahead. Refurbishing such a bike can be a serious time drain and also use up good parts from your bin. When you grab parts out of the bin, even if they are "free", you are using up parts you eventually must replace. And those parts will bring more money when attached to a decent frame.
