What you are selling is bike bones, and sure, collectors buy 'em all the time. This bike falls in the category of "path racer" I think (brake and all), and someone in the world will swoon over it, I'm sure. Bikes in "all there" condition and of this vintage are pretty rare.
Does this mean it may be more attractive to potential buyers if I don't mess with it? This is why I have been reluctant to work on it, I don't want to "ruin" it.
