I will keep you in mind If the sale happens. I’m ok on stripping the frame down, but thank you for your kind offer.
I’ve been looking for one of these for years, mine was stolen in 1998. I’d be interested in the frame only but would take the whole bike if cheap, I’d then strip and sell the parts on (always best to be honest).
Value is difficult, I can’t remember the last time one came up for sale, they are desirable but only to a small audience. Such as me
let me know how much you want and I’ll consider if it’s worth the trip down memory Lane for me

Bit of history I have copied an pasted which I have seen on some web pages. The frame is 6061 T6 aluminium and I believe welded in the Malverns. The owner of Bigfoot /yeti then later from 1995 was smokestone Some were anodised in the various colours of the era, purple, gold, blue etc. It retailed as a frame for £680. I paid for mine in 1996 £1200 full built. But added different specs as they came to the market. Always wanted the lightest possible gear so I’m thinking £700 for the frame or if you want to make a different offering then I’m open to honest suggestions.
£700 is rather outside my expectation. A quick look on this site shows that an entire bike (complete with LX/XT and '94 RC35 forks) was advertised for £375 last year: https://www.retrobike.co.uk/threads/a-brace-of-bigfoot-smokestones.407555/
Good luck with the sale
