What a beautiful bike.
I would try to find someone who really appreciates it and will use it.
It is better if something like that is used. There is a certain waste otherwise. If it just goes into storage -- or if it is just kept somewhere by a collector who keeps things without using them ('hoarding' may be too strong a word, but something along those lines often goes on....) -- it isn't the same. Bikes should be ridden. Someone would enjoy that bike tremendously, take care of it, and make good use of it.
Why not find someone like that? It shouldn't be too hard.
