Given it's a bit scruffy cosmetically, I can't see that much profit potential in buying it to sell on. I could see it as a useful workhorse at that money though, especially if it has a decent butted steel frame.

Looks a bit small for me, but if it was a big frame I'd be tempted at that price. Looks like a decent quality Tange cro-moly frame, and those rack mounts on the seat stays could turn it into a useful workhorse if you swapped the knobbly tyres for some Marathons or similar. Can't really go wrong with those late 80's/early 90's 26ers if the price is right. They'll still be running when all the modern suspension stuff has been melted down and turned into baked bean cans.

As it was in the picture was ideal for me at 5ft 10" .
Agree re being a better bike compared to modern bso

Argos 59cm frame in Columbus KL. Very nice but most riders of the necessary size will be too heavy for it!

Which instantly rules me out on both counts! Nice colour scheme though.

It needs a head tube that size to get the name on...

Looks like an auction number maybe?

Nice little bike though.
