Bikes: bikes without brakes

My friend was helping his parents clean out their backyard and asked me to come look at some bikes before he threw them out to see if I wanted any. One of them was a Coventry Eagle road bike from the early 70's (I think). I didn't know anything about the bike but I noticed all of its campy components (everything except cinelli bars/stem and kyokuto pedals) so I asked for it. I disassembled the bike and began cleaning the components planning to build it back up as a road bike for myself but I realized I'm too obsessed with riding fixed, I don't really need two bikes and it will cost me. So yeah, I got Campy Nuovo Record Hubs laced to Mavic tubular rims, Coventry Eagle road frame with an amazing head badge and campy drops, campy chromoly fork, 63-SS-120 campy BB, campy three armed cranks (52 & 42) etc.. for free!! Here are some photos. (in the last picture I didn't put the headset on, I just put the stem and fork in for looks). Does anyone know how much I could get for the components?
