    Maybe you could clean it up and get it working nicely again, then have it sit for a year or so and THEN sell it. This is assuming it doesn't fit you well of course, or else you'd be riding it and enjoying it.
    If you do get it, be sure to get a good lock for it- there are people out there looking for fine classic touring bikes like this.
