Keep frame or sell it?

Keep frame or sell it?
I was able to upgrade to a S-WORKS SL3 frame set which leaves me with a SL Pro frame and fork. I'm thinking of selling it but then again, I could hang on to it as a back up or even pick up some ebay parts and build another bike, maybe use a compact crank for hilly courses/rides.
Anyone keep a spare frame around to use in case of an accidental breakage?

Of course you hang on to it. How could anyone go through life with just one bike?

the old n+1 idea. I've got all three road frames I've used since getting into the sport. they're all worth more to me at this point in sentimental value than what they'd command on the open market.
Either sell it now or commit for the long haul. Having a second ride is never a bad thing.
