Would it be worth the money to buy this bike and keeping just the parts?

The guy said "dura ace cranks and hubs shimano 600 brakes , shimano 105 derailur mavic rims all never been used ..frame Reynolds 531 double butted .. Dura ace headstand as well" I think the crank is a 7400 and the rest of the stuff, i have no idea
He wanted $350 i think at first but after a while he changed it to 190 and i just offered him $100 and he accepted.

If the frame is really nice, it might be worth repainting and outfitting with either vintage or modern parts. The existing parts could be very nice too, and you might have bought a nice ride. Time will tell.

Yup.
Might want to move that bottom clamp on the down tube down a bit... Looks like it needs a new RD cable as well...
Did plenty of work on this vintage back in the late 70s, early 80s.
