KHS Aero Turbo - Part out or refresh and sell?
Asking kindly for your advice on what would yield the larger payout.
It's a 53cm(?) KHS Aero Turbo, of the Lennon/Zenn/HED collaboration.
It's a little crusty, but will clean up nicely. I don't need another bike, and this one is a little small despite the larger-than-it-looks geometry. I haven't seen many of these, but suspect there isn't a huge market specifically for this frame.
The full Shimano 105 8spd STI components on their own are worth something, the bike appears to have had little use.
Just curious if it's worth it to part out or if it's better to refresh and sell locally.
TIA

Best bet to sell as a whole would probaly be to target a triathlete, via one their sites. Otherwise I'd be parting it out or using it as donor bicycle for the next project.

That was my hunch, but I often feel bad tearing apart what could be a great bike for someone. The triathletes here aren't interested in actually using classic bikes for training...maybe I can convince one of them too.
Appreciate the reply.
