Re:

Well.. you say that.. but it has been up three times now. The seller has a reserve that hasn’t been pinged yet. Bids seem to have topped out around £200-250 each time.

That would be cheap for a Buck, but the rest of the parts have had a tough life.

surely the parts are for the bin anyway. The frame forks and Cranks are the value i would think.

Re:

Ringle cage, x-lite q/rs, cranks, potentially brakes. Depending on the condition of the above, maybe you could build a case for it. I wouldn’t want to pay a lot more than frame value - and this one is in rough condition. A good Buck frame is probably worth, what, £350, if it has mint original paint in grello or some appealing colour?

The main worry is that the frame has rust or something. The bike hasn’t been treated with a whole lot of love recently.

Exactly, looks like it has rust issues in the seat tube and its been ‘enjoyed’ properly.
