Appreciate it. Not looking for profit, but don't want to spend too much either. There are channels on Youtube that do restorations. They'll find some of the cheapest , rusty bikes and spend dozens of hours and hundreds of dollars to restore them. I'm sure it's more the channel than resale value.
A friend brought a bike for his daughter going away to school. It's a 70's model sitting in a barn for the last 20 yrs. I'm doing a mechanical restoration, but nothing for aesthetics so as not to make it a target for thieves
