Drool...  Drool...  Drool...

Ahem!  Yes, the value of the bike...  Hard to say, as it really depends upon your local market.  If you try to sell it as a collector's bike, then the price could be significantly higher.  She is gorgeous.  Almost pristine.  That could drive the price higher, but I can only guess, as used bike prices are all over the board, in my local market (asking prices, no idea what they actually sell for).  My best guess (pulling this out of thin air, mind you...) would be $2,000, possibly higher, but your local market will dictate.

Search all of the usual suspects:  Craigslist.com, trade web sites, local dealers, etc.  Then you can make an educated guess, based on your local market.

Honestly, I'd suggest keeping it:  you obviously enjoy riding it very much; it is nearly pristine; it's gorgeous(!); you will likely never see such a bike ever again; and they're just fun to ride and enjoy life on.  Cheers!  [Gone in search of a mop for all of the drool puddles on my floor...]
