To sell or not to sell?

The text below is taken from my post on the BV forum

My once loved 2007 Avanti Blade Sport has been sitting on the rack for months, maybe more than half a year now (actually it was on loan to someone for a couple of months recently) and I’ve been debating whether I should sell it or not.

Being the hoarder that I am I find it hard to let of things. But I know its just sitting there.

I only have 1 good reason for wanting to keep it;

That one day I might want to do a rail trail ride or similar where I can’t use my roadie. I would buy some knobby tyres and use the Blade. After all, its a perfectly good bike. Its taken me around the bay. Has lots of gears for hills and is very solid.

BUT

If I don’t sell it now the value will keep going down.

Would a hardtail be better for trails anyway?
