True, that bike could be a dream come true for somebody don't throw it away fix it and give it to someone who needs a bike there is a whole new generation of kids and people coming up who appreciate that old stuff like that, some chick that can't really afford a bike who is taking the bus to work would love to have that thing but make it safe for her first and find her and give it to her, if you can afford to do so with some used parts and some labor of love.
