I was thinking similar about the frameset. Similar Vitus 979 framesets are struggling to get anything over 200 bucks in most cases, because of the depressed C&V market AND, the continuing prejudice (mostly unjustified, IMO.) against all bonded and aluminum C&V frames (As you can see in recent and recurring posts in the C&V forum.). But you might be able to find a buyer that will be interested in the less common and a bit more aesthetically pleasing Altec (because of the nicer lug profiles). Plus you have NOS condition and a popular size in your favor. So maybe around $250 to $275 on a very good day, to the right buyer. If the retro bike fad ever comes back again, then there might be hope of getting more money from bonded framed C&V bikes again. But in the near future?, I just don't see it....
