No interest so far. Is the price of £300 realistic?
It's a bit on the high side. Bontragers are (unfairly) not that desirable, later privateers less so.
There are a few privateers frames on eBay for about £300, but they've been there for months. £100, is closer to reality for a frame

That said, the retrobike market is moribund, but you might find a bigger market on Facebook or eBay.
 
Should be a fair price, but might get more interest at 250.
By this point bontrager was owned by trek and lost a lot of collectability.

The rear mech is the only xt piece in the groupset by the looks of things btw. Full xt would lift it a bit.
 
If you’re stateside (Seattle) I’ve got a 19” bar bike version for free.
‘97 - 1” head tube and cable stop for cantilever on the rear.
Might keep the limp dick stem since they are funny.
