My thoughts exactly (I said $20... )
Although, I'm not interested in joining the Fixie craze, and unless I could be 100% certain of my repair, I wouldn't sell it built into a bike. So I'd end up with a broken frame that I'd end up having to donate somewhere, or having it take up space in the basement.
Looking on E-Bay, there are a lot of bare fixie/track frames for $100 to $150. Even if the frame was in perfect condition, $140 would be on the upper end. Unusable... Dream On.
It looks like complete Raleigh rush hour bikes are going for around $300.
