Any value in a rough Pivo handlebar?
I picked up a Motobecane Grand Jubile that I'll be rebuilding this winter and the original Pivo bar has seen better days. One of the drops is bent downwards and there's light corrosion from the years spent under worn bar tape. I already have a bar to replace it, I'm just wondering if the old bar has any value to make it worth selling. Would it be sacrilege to just scrap it?

Chuck it. Those are pretty soft and was not abnormal to see those droop, people would adjust but bending them back creates a stress riser that can fail at anytime.

...recycle it. Maybe it will be lucky enough to become a beer can.
