my tuppence, short version: keep it...
long version: what's your reason for selling - garage space or the (correct) sense that bikes derive meaning from being ridden? it looks like a great practical build - I bet it rides amazing - but it's not period-correct or posh or NOS or what... if it were mine I'd probably list it at £500, drop the price a few times to maybe £350 and then decide to hang on to it... In any case, I'm not convinced that selling it will lead to it being used that much more - great bike, but will appeal mostly to the sort of person that already has multiple bikes (like me...) & would only ride it from time to time. Most likely you'll get a lot of interest for splitting it & selling the frame & forks for maybe £200, and the new owner may or may not get round to building it up in the next 10yrs...
Disclaimer: It looks (nearly) big enough to be my size, but I /really/ don't have room rn... maybe I'm just projecting...
