I think its best to avoid those old lugged carbon frames. Looking at how rusted the chain, cassette and derailleurs are would make me even more nervous about the aluminum lugs

at $150? Hell yes.
It's way too small for me, but it is worth the money.
Even if it doesn't fit you, it's worth the price(unless it's hot).

After passing my close inspection, I'd buy it. Nothing in my area comes close at that price.

This is a deal, I can't imagine it will last more than a few days

I'd buy it. Much of that bike can be restored with some TLC, and perhaps a few replacement bolts.

Thank y'all
He wrote in ad, " tubular glueing days are behind me".
Do you have to glue those bike frames?

If you don't want to have to deal with that, you'd need to get new wheels.
BTW I'll add to the chorus. For $150 I'd buy that just for the parts.

Thanks everyone for their help.
A friend looked at it and said they think it was left under house all winter.
I decided between the sand and salt and that it needed "loving" not to buy it.
Thank you again
