Nothing really valuable about a rusted bike that was mass produced. It may be a great bike heck it could have been at the top of the range when it came out but if it is in rough shape as this one there is not much there for someone to want. Bikes should be taken care of and kept inside and there is almost never a reason to store a bike outside it is pretty tough to not be able to find a storage solution inside these days with all the various products already on the market and neat hacks that many people have come up with. Even if you had to store a bike outside for some odd reason there is no reason it should get damaged in that way as it should be frequently checked and maintained and at the absolute minimum should be covered to prevent water getting in from the top of the bike. Plus leaving a bike outside makes it an easy target for thieves.

We need a group People Against Bicycle Abuse (PABA) to help teach and prevent this stuff from happening.
