Motobecane Gran Sport Worth? Should I part it out?
 

http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=473923

So I have this 79 Motobecane Gran Sport converted to SS. It's in good condition, just a few rubs, scratches, and missing stickers. What's it worth? And would I get more if I parted it out instead?

Specs:
-Gran Sport vitus 888 (aka cromoly) frame (55ish cm)
-SR stem, bars, and fluted seatpost
-Sugino Maxy crank (Specialized ring)
-Rear wheel Shimano 600 tri color to Mavic MA40
-Front wheel Mailard hub to an unknown rim (maybe ambrosio)
-Selle Aero (progressive?) Saddle

I live in a fast bike market (SF).
Thanks

Nothing gained on this one as a part out. In SF, maybe ask $300, but settle for mid $200s.

Not worth parting out value wise $200-250 in SF. Most other places it would be close to half that. On a SS converison like this one I would say if you like the bike at all keep it the only real way to get decent value is by riding it.

thanks guys...i will probably ride it and maybe sell after I put some miles on it. Parting it out seems like a pain.

Your photo isn't too clear.

The fixie market is a bit odd. I think $200 is on the high side.

Does it have one black wheel and one silver wheel?

As others have said, you won't gain a lot by parting it out. Nothing seems to be spectacular enough about the bike that people will be beating down the doors to get the parts off of it.
