Classic bike: sell intact or break for parts?
In '92, I had one of the very early Trek pre-production carbon frame and fork, custom built with Campag SR cranks and rings, Chorus 8-speed mechs, brakes and ergo shifters, Hope Ti B/B, Cinelli 130mm Ti stem and hand-built Mavic Open SUP CDs on Hope Ti hubs. Yes, it's still lovely but I don't ride it any more.
Should I sell it intact (if so, where?), or dismantle to sell for parts? (To my amazement, the wheels have never needed truing ...)
Thanks, Judy

Ooooooooh I like that!
Aww. Thanks guys
A bit teary here parting with it ... Judy
If you dismantle that to sell for parts I'm going to ring the police and have you arrested for vandalism.
I'm so pleased that's too big for me.
I wish I hadn't clicked the link.
I do not need another bike....
This is now on ebay (Gulp!) https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/323220452358
If you know anyone after a unique Classic bike, please pass it around
Thanks, judy
It would be a crime against humanity to break up something like that.
Pic's, PIC'S!!! Give all us 40- somethings something to drool over!
