If you do all ramzilla suggests, (would be what I would do)..... if I was keeping it... or if it was a high end bike

I do not see much of a profit , but it depends on the area and supply and demand

The decals are in poor condition.

To be honest..I would be " shocked" if you got anywhere close to 225.00

A bike in that condition and quality , at best, even after tuned and ready to ride would be 150.00 on the high end.
Not trying to discourage you, it is great that you saved a bike, but to me it looks like an awful lot of work( but enjoyable) and you get experience to make maybe 50 - 65.00.

At least in my area. If the paint and decals were better you might be able to get 165.00 after cleaned and tuned up.

Good Luck and please do not take my comments as negative. I am just being honest and wish you the best of luck!!!

Please keep us posted and share a pic of the end result.!!!

Stay/be safe !!!
Thanks for contributing, I will post once it is cleaned up and will see what we can get for it. There is very little rust overall so it is all about polish and degreasing. It is missing one spoke so will have to sort that one out...to determine spoke length required should be interesting.
