Would I get more for frame with headset and bottom bracket included?
Hi everyone. I decided to part out my 83 Univega Sportour and sell it on ebay. Do you experts think I would get a be better price for the framel w/o bottom bracket and head set and sell bottom bracket complete with crankset; and head set seperately. Or intact? Any opinion of value of frame with or w/o bottom bracket and head set. I want to price it to sell. I have another bike project in mind and need to maximize the income for the new project.
There is a minor issue with the fork. I have a hard time puting on the front wheel. It does not go on easily. I have to like pull the front of the fork blade and push at the same time. It seems like the blades needs to be spread just a mm or so. the fork looks fine with the naked eye. There are no issues once it's on. Just a hassle to put in on.

Low end headsets and bottom brackets can be had for $20-30 a piece. Personally if I'm building a frame from scratch, as I am now, I figure a new sealed bearing bottom bracket might save me time over a used one I'm not sure of, but others might just prefer to rebuild an older one.
If it was an older frame with strange threading it might make more of a difference.

At this level, doubt it makes a difference.

Thanks all. Sounds like everyone's onthe same page. Any Idea what this frame might fetch on ebay?

$50-$75 to someone who could pick it up, or close enough to ship cheaply.
