£150 is about right as above. You need the right person for it though.

Its definitely going to need work and unfortunately will never be super minty as not much you can do with the frame.

A really nice one sold last year for £400. But it was immaculate.

Thanks for the help. I’d be happy with £150, I just want someone to restore and enjoy it, It’s such a cool looking bike.

but it’s almost immaculate. I’ve photographed what small rust spots it does have.

Not being mean but I think calling it almost immaculate is a stretch. I'd say it needs a good deep clean and the tyres pumping up before the condition can be properly assessed.

Sorry I should have been more specific, I was referring to the frame and forks (ie the bits that someone would want to keep.) It’s a 30 year old mountain bike!

I would still not describe it as immaculate unfortunately. You might get away with calling it “average”.

In the the world of retro bikes it’s not uncommon to see bikes that literally can pass as new regardless of age so when someone describes it as immaculate we kinda expect it to be.

Okay bud, average it is forgive me. Forum faux pas aside, I think this post is transparent enough though that people can make their own mind up about it. As I said, others here will know far more than me. I just wanted to know what to what it’s worth (if anything) and perhaps someone here would like it.
