With the ladies, size matters.
Seriously, that's pretty much it. Small, inexpensive road bikes are in pretty high demand if you're in an urban area or near a university. The women seem to prefer men's bikes, but the more petite women cannot ride one unless it is on the smaller end of the scale.
So, if this frame cleans up nicely and can be converted to, say, a generic Suntour group, it will once again have value and be destined to rejoin the workforce.
