I just picked this bike for free. Anybody have some opinions regarding its place or worth?

I know everyone is a novice when they begin, but did you read the 3 page review above?

Anyways, it's low/mid quality for its era, and likely won't fetch a good price even from someone sentimental about Atala bikes unless it's in very good condition.
