It's been a really fun project and although I've spent more than I had initially planned. I haven't exactly broken the bank with anything I've bought so far.
Filter out the auctions that are, as you say, often overpriced and just filter by Buy It Now and sort low to high. Keep on looking, I scored this for <£100. That said, it's an awkwardly large frame and that's my second main gripe after the inability to use anything other than a U brake for the rear. Still, very charming to ride and takes me back to the 90s. Great fun.

Looks great and reminds me of my carrera krakatoa from back in day. Good find on the frame in that condition. i keep thinking about doing something similar but all frames i come across are really tatty and anything near mint are silly money for a bike I'm probably not going to ride that much
