I sold a bike of mine last week. The bike was 24 years old. There were numerous mechanical repairs needed. However, the physical condition was excellent. I went back and forth on whether to make the repairs or not. I decided that if I made all the repairs I would have to ask a much higher price to cover my costs and probably price myself out of the market. I ended up selling it as it was, but I made a list of everything that I knew needed attention and gave it to the buyer. He had no problem making the repairs, he got a good deal and I didn't have to spend numerous weekends making repairs and buying parts. It worked out best for both of us. Had I made the repairs, I would have netted about the same once I subtracted the cost of repairs. Why do all that work and end up with the same amount of cash in your wallet? I don’t think so.

Unless the bike isn't running, other repairs probably wont make much difference. The more important question is - what bike are you gonna get to replace it??? ;-D The tire maybe.

Spend a little time giving it a good wash and wax. It will be time well invested. Forget the repairs. Spend a little time giving it a good wash and wax. It will be time well invested.

If the items in question are obviously worn out then yes, this may help but if they are still in decent condition I don't think you'll get enough of a boost in value to offset the money you'll spend.

You can get your money out of a tire, but with the sprocket and chain, I wouldn't bother. Probably changing the tire will help, but other than that, I wouldn’t spend the money.
