Can someone help me save this?

I've been looking for a 90s Turner Burner to build up for the last few years with no real luck, and spotted this rather sad looking (and overpriced) ~97 example on eBay this evening.

As it pick up only, I was wondering if some kind hearted soul would be interested in picking it up and sending me the frame (at my cost) if I can convince the seller to let go of it for a reasonable price. Looking at the state of the chain and the cassette I'd say that everything on it is stuffed but I'm willing to gamble on the frame.

As my UK geography is pretty poor I'm not sure where it actually is, but assume someone here is within reasonable distance.

Let me know if you are interested in this assignment!

Alternatively if anyone is interested in saving it themselves please go ahead

Seems a bit overpriced to me mate. £400 BIN, ouch! :shock: Maybe around the £250 - 300 would be a little more realistic.

For info, heres a map of Bury St Edmunds. Unfortunately way out of my neck of the woods.

I saw it & was a bit gutted too... I can't see you getting it for a worthwhile price tbh. Like you said, everything on it's worthless, & I don't rate your chances of convincing him of that! Good luck though - I'll be jealous if you pull it off!

I can collect strip and pack - You have PM

Yes BIN price is way too high.

Given the condition of the bike (worthless parts, blown shock), I'm expecting there to be very few offers on it. So I may be in luck.

I'll just have to wait and see

Update: Still working on this one, so if anyone wants their pick of unwanted parts and can help out let me know....
