To Fix or Not to Fix...

...that is the question !???!????
Below is a crappy photo of my mid '80s Pinarello Treviso...purchased at that time for roughly $2200...big dough to me at the time. (sorry for the poor quality photo, the last time that bike saw daylight, my tech-tech digital camera didn't have an SD card...it was a floppy disk in a big Sony brick of a camera.)

Anyway...since purchasing a used track bike on craigslist, I haven't touched any geared bikes in my possession. I always loved this PInarello and would like to ride it again however and having mixed feelings because I feel as if I'm "butchering" the bike....and on the other hand, if I don't, it'll just sit in the dark.

So...do I "fix" it? And if I do...what shall I do??? (suggestions would be appreciated)

Or, do I let it sit and leave it for my toddlers to give to their children?

Thanks in advance...
