I picked up an ealier (approximately 1981) lugged steel Trek bike. I don't know much about them. The bike is white with blue decal panels and blue head tube, gold Trek head badge. It has a sloping crown fork and Cinelli bottom bracket shell. Strangely, the drop outs are Shimano, with the rear being vertical dropouts without adjusters.

The bike came with a limited Super Record gruppo (Nuovo BB and Super Leggera pedals but the rest Super Record), Cinelli 1R Stem and old-logo Giro D Italia bars. I purchased the bike from the original owner.

I bought it for the components and plan on selling the frameset, which is in mint condition.

Is it wrong to break this bike up? Do these have any collectability?
