It's 531 tubing, in an unusual (and attractive) colour so will go for at least £50 I'd think. It's not clear if it has vertical drop outs so I don't know if it's suitable for a conversion.

I used to race one of these when I were a lad.

It was a nice bike.

Forks look bent on this one, brakes don't match and the headset is wrong.

Looks like it's been lunched.

Probably not, but I will step aside if you must have it.

No worries, I imagine it'll be out of my budget to be honest... let's pool funds and share it.

On the contrary, I've never seen so anything so far from my tastes.

this is some slicked up mtb / dirtbike conversion.

keep it 80s road or track conversion. or lo pro.

That frame is not meant for gears- unless you put an internal hub on it.
