Actually, if I saw that bike, first I would check to see if it's locked or being watched.
Then if the opportunity is available, I would ride it like I stole it ('cause I would've just done that, obviously).
Get home, and take it apart. Sell the parts off slowly, individually, eventually the frame. Frame gets sold last because you'd be looking for the frame first on your eBay searches. By the time I get around to selling the frame, if I haven't already done so locally, you probably won't be searching on eBay or recognize it for that matter, since you'll be looking for a 'full bike' and not a frame by itself. Unfortunately no one buys used bar tape or cables, so that may be the only things that won't sell.
Then use the funds to improve my own bicycles.
Now, would I
actually do this?
No. But you asked.
That being said, it's a nice bike - take care of it, love it, and don't give a flying f*ck about what anyone thinks of the bike itself... enjoy the ride.
