Hi Scott, and  :welcome to RAD.

Some details about the bike and it's parts may help us to work out what it is, and if it's worth anything?

It's tricky to guess a price without actually seeing the bike, if you can get a pic then that would be great.

Obviously, the most important bit is the frame and forks, so knowing what that is will help work out its value.

A Suntour power stem is worth about £50 for a nice one, a nice Tange BB sell for up to £20, if the seat clamp is an OG one, then another £45, if nice.

Oh ok, as i said i haven't got a clue its just what my mate told me.

I don't even want it to ride, just thought it would be a nice thing to have.

So what would you be willing to pay for it?

I wouldn't give him any more than £350 at a guess.  :daumenhoch:
