Just kill it, but just if you are sure that it fits the rider with the saddle in the right position. Why spending time, energy and money on a bike that doesn't fit well (and always looks poor) ?
I suggest (what I would do, but you can follow your own ideas) to change the colour scheme: mainly white with pink (or red) accents (tyres or rims, grips, saddle, decals, ...).
In future I will do the same with a mixte frame for my wife, but first I need a nice frame in the right size and a Selle Italia Lady saddle with roses design.
Not sure it needs a paintjob or new decals? Contact points will all get revamp for sure.
Personally i think that looks almost ready to go. I wouldnt bother repainting it as the paintjob looks in pretty good nick, just replace the saddle, put some nice sweeping bars on it, remove those hideous lights, tidy up the cable routing and possibly replace the mudguards and your good to go (depending on condition of the wheels/cranks etc of course)
Yeah, that's kinda my thinking. Rear wheel is a 3 speed dyno-hub thingy, heavy as owt, so that'd get swapped out also, might be collectable and sellable with the lights?
