Default What should I do with my old bike?

It is a KHS low-end bike.

Steel frame, Shimano Sora shifters and derailleurs.

105 Crank and bottom bracket.

Right now it has Ksyrium Elite wheels. But if I sell it, I will sell the wheels separately. Or keep the wheels for backups.

I bought it new for $550 in 2001.

Should I sell it? How much should I ask?

It's a 56cm. I had it set up for Farrah to ride, but she says she is not interested (despite buying the shoes, shorts, etc).

Should I keep it as a commuting bike? Sell it, and apply the $ to a TT bike?

Make it into a cycle cross bike or put some wheels on it and donate it to some kid that doesn't have a bike this Christmas.

I've got an idea. Sell it and get a Mtn bike. Start doing some trails.

Some of those inner city kids grow pretty tall young in life.
