Heh, this thread is right in my field. I'm a cyclist, and collect older bikes. I'm also a member of the bikeforums. It's actually what got me into scrapping, every time I took my cans to the yard, I always saw guys with bikes in the back of their trucks.
Anyways, Panasonic is not a "popular" name these days, but they made above-average quality bikes (and they still make very high quality bike tires). As long as the frame isn't a train wreck, you can easily get well above scrap value. Even if it's just the bare frame.
