I had some guilt issues when I recently parted out a pretty nice Competition GS. I hated to do it, but it made sense financially, and therefore it helped advance some other projects I am working on. It was full GS, which, IMO, wasn't that great functionally(it was from 1976). I kept the stock Brooks professional and headset/BB and ebayed the rest. The frame went for $200! Not so much for the rest of the components, but I broke even and got to keep the parts I mentioned. I guess it's just a personal thing, it was mine and I did with it what made sense in my life at the time. I don't miss it as the proceeds of selling all my excess parts that I didn't see myself needing in the future financed a LHT that will give me more enjoyment than the Raleigh did hanging in the garage.
