do it
I'll tell you... $40 for a bike in that condition is good for this area. That bike with fresh tires and functioning chain/cogs would fetch $100, my guess.
Anyway, are you looking to make money? probably not. In my eyes, if i spend 10 hours on a bike and enjoy it and sell it at a loss of, say, $50, i've spend five dollars per hour for fun. Which is cheap.
