If you have nothing invested whatever you get when selling is a plus. I am sure someone would be happy to have it.
All too true, and if I decide to sell it, I'm probably not looking for more than I put into it. Like I said before, I just wish it was a bit smaller, cause it sure does ride nice. It worked well on the trainer and for that atleast I may keep it, but since it was listed as a 'vintage' bike, I was curious. Thanks.
