Why part it out…you hungry or a just a butcher?….resurrect that thing….holy crap part it out?!? Bad advice…very bad…
Advice?
NO, I gave an Option, an Idea, an Opinion on the way to make the most money with out having to try and sell locally, make a crate to ship etc. on something he got for Free/No Cost/All profit on any sale if that is what he decides to do.
For all we know the guy is 6' 8" tall and can't fit the bike or doesn't want to have something that does not get used.
He wants to clean it up get running, ride it, that's all good as well.
Pretty sure he is an adult and is not going to take my comment and make him instantly part the bike without some consideration of all the options at hand.
We have been down this road before.
Nice complete bikes come up for sale here and you get the same old "Wish it was closer" "Would buy if you would ship to Alaska" Etc. or too much money because the cables aren't correct/wrong seat/blah blah.
A well known member had a damn nice complete Rupp for sale here and lowered the price a couple times, everyone sat on their hands until he parted it out and BAM all of a sudden he was a monster for taking apart the bike and making other people happy to get parts and made 2 times the money.
His bike- his options, period.
Very few restored bikes are that way without the help of good parts taken from good bikes. This is not a crime.
What makes it a Butcher or "chop it up" when all the parts unbolt?
No hacksaw or cutting torch needed.
