I agree that it probably wont be worth refurbishing it if i were to ever want to sell it. however i'm not fixing it to sell it. i'm fixing it as a bike for myself as well as a piece of memoribilia(sp?) towards my dad. I honestly went into this project thinking that i will probably be spending 2x the amount the bike even cost back then, but that's ok on my book. To me it's a priceless possesion .
