Austro-Daimler Inter 10: worth restoration?
I just picked this up, cheap. Its a Austro Daimler Inter 10.
I am wondering if its worth restoration or just piece it out. It wasn't stored in an ideal environment; definitely a wet place. Rust, rust, oxidation...
Components are as follows:
Fuji Oylmpaide bars, Dura-ace levers and Dura ace brakes, Campy hubs and Super Champion rims, Shimano 600 FD Arabesque, Shimano 600 Tri-color RD, Suntour Symetric Shifters, Super Maxy Cranks, Dia Compe stem.
So, the reason for the post. The frame is far to big for me. But the price, $35, I couldn't walk away. So, all restored, what do you think value is? I tried ebay sold listings. It seems no Inter 10 had quite this component set. If I sold as parts, would there be a market for a AD frame like this one?
Your thoughts?

Still learning
You'd be ahead financially by lissting the frame/fork on ebay with a BIN price on it. As long as it os straight and no dents, there is always a buyer for a Reynolds 531 frameset. Plenty of photos, taken outdoors.

I often find bikes like this one...part it out, selling the pieces on eBay and then the Frame/Fork as well. This is a pretty nice bike, so you should be able to do quite well...and, if you need any of the parts for your bikes, you come out ahead that way as well...the frame should easily recoup your investment.

+100 You are not going to find a AD Inter 10 with those parts because few if any of the parts are original. Total frankenbike = part out heaven.

It depends on what you mean but restoration.... It certainly looks worthy of a good overhaul and cleaning, maybe a new chain. The worse thing I see is a really rusty seat binder bolt. Sure the parts may not be original but if it fits all you need a little elbow grease some cables and front brake and you'll have a great riding, and not a bad looing bike.

Bikes: No-name LH drive track. Also ride an Exxon Graftek, a Masi, a Trek R200 or a RR Boneshaker for fun!

Super Maxy crank & many of the other bits should go in the parts bin for fixing future flips. Get some Naval Jelly, fine steel wool and WD-40 on hand. Great find!

The hubs read "Campagnolo". The little wings logo is stamped into the hub. Are these Chorus?
