A good builder can chop the lower half off the S/tube, weld in a replacement and leave you with the original upper section, still good for your turquoise Moby.

From what I can see in the photos I wouldn’t go near it, looking closely it appears VERY rough and serious damage elsewhere seems like a high probability.
It‘s also pretty mind-boggling that it could have got into such a mess in the first place.

I wouldn’t pay £50 for it, too much damage and hassle fixing it all.

So it seems I won this with an idle bid!
will have a good look but ultimately if it ends up as wall art so be it.

Yep, it's too small and I don't know any decent frame builders!
I'll have a good look once it arrives and if it really is scrap due to more than just the seat tube it may go back but hopefully the seller was correct in the description.
Ultimately I've always wanted an aqua fade Yo since I was a child, it really was my halo bike and I don't really ride my retro kit so if I build it up, hang it in the garage and spend some happy time looking at it all will be well. I'll have a look at a repair at some point but it won't be any time soon. First job will be protecting what's left of the frame!

If it is scrap then let me know and I'll buy it for my pub wall.
