I fit in that category as well, minus them eventually making it on to the next owner. They just clutter my apartment
I simply asked, as the OP had not indicated the intentions of the bike. A $300 restored vintage bike might move well in an urban center. In a small, out of the way town? Not so likely. Advocating to a board to spend money would indicate to me there needs to be some cash accountability on these bikes.
