I have decided that I want a modern road bike more than my sentimental attachment to my first race bike. So, I am planning to sell the race bike from my youth to fund a road bike upgrade. The question is: what is the best approach to selling it? Should I sell it as a complete bike, or part it out? And, is the best channel here, eBay, CL, or some other?
My bike is a late 80s Pinarello Montello SLX, built with full Dura Ace and two sets of wheels. Typical Pinarello (for the era), the decals have long flaked off, and the paint is literally falling off the frame. However, it is mechanically excellent (put 2K on it last year and rode a century). The Dura Ace bits are all very good.
I have executive approval for the carbon road bike upgrade project, so this is the next critical step.
