You guys have probably seen the bike I've had listed for sale here and on CL already, the black Buck Shaver, lol.
Someone is interested in the bike for the frame alone to build up as a single speed, and made me a decent offer on it. I could also hang onto some of if not all the parts. I know that the frame is the main valuable item of the bike, but I'm certain that all of it's other components, some pretty desirable, are original to when this bike was first built up.
What I'm wondering is, would this be like desecrating the bike because it's in such nice original shape? Should I hold out? I'm leaning toward selling it, I kinda need the money and could sell parts on eBay easily, but I don't want to screw myself either. And it hurts me to take apart such a nice looking bike.
I haven't listed it on eBay as a whole yet (even though I do a lot of eBay sales) because I'm timid about bothering with shipping it and all that.
