This might be the kind of bike that you buy, you fix up ... a little, you ride ... a little, and -- unless you fall in love with it -- you plan to either give it away (eg, to the local Co-op, a friend, a relative), or you sell it.
IOW, think of it as a foster bike, knowing there's such a thing as a "foster fail," and go buy the darnned thing :-)
The price of admission just isn't that high.
