Thanks John: The problem I see with selling the parts off separately is the real fear of being stuck with a frame that no one will want, and I won't have room for; to that end, I'm going to have to sell the bike as is-- except for the handlebars (unless I think they'll help me sell it!)
eBay hasn't been too bad, but I'd much rather sell the bike via a local Craigslist--but I didn't get any nibbles when I last posted the Waterford there...maybe I'll try again before selling it on eBay. I'll post pics after I put the bike back together on Saturday--and thanks for everyone's input.
