Your probably right, although I likely wouldn't sell it, I would need to replace the left crank arm regardless, and will probably do the chain and cassette, sooner rather then later. Applying the BF-C&A rule, that the number of bikes required is the number you have plus one, I might just put some CX type tires on it, and turn it into a foul weather bike. That depends though on other factors, like whether I can find a road bike that fits, and doesn't need a lot of work done on it.....
