What frame size? Pics of the frame if you can and have access to it right now to do so, please. If you an use most of the parts and could sell off the rest why not get it at that price. It may well not be too rough for you to rehab it anyway.

upon further inspection. I couldnt pull the trigger. every part was either rusty or scratched to death. On to the bike swap in Madison next month to feed my addiction.
