Old bike from virtually unknown manufacturer with unknown frame (I assume aluminum) ,components/ wheels. Maybe $100 after you've seen it and verified that it's OK? On the other hand, if you check it out and it has full DuraAce groupset, titanium frame, expensive wheelset, then maybe much more. The fact that the guy is an experienced cyclist and yet provides no meaningful description leads me to believe it's low-end stuff he'd rather not mention.

What an odd listing.
I like the "spare" fork. I don't have any wrenches but I have a Sawzall...

The seller can't be bothered to figure out how to measure the frame size, doesn't give any info about the frame, doesn't explain the unusual mix of 70's and 00's era parts, apparently doesn't understand that quill stems have a minimum insertion, and it looks like this bike currently has V-brakes pulled by standard road levers (and I don't see a travel agent adaptor that would allow such a combination to function) - definitely a few red flags. So I would advise against considering this bike at any price, unless you're confident in your ability to assess the bike's mechanical virtues and values in person.
