Hi Jono, yes I got the PM.
With regards to the split, I'll have to do some maths I suppose.
The issue, I suppose, is that it is of limited splitability for me.
F&F stay together obviously, it seems stupid for me to separate the front wheel from that, I'm not going to take the headset out, I just bought the BB so to take it out and sell it for a fiver seems a bit of a waste of time. I've no use for a 26.4 seatpost so that might as well stay as it is. The brakes are non recessed fitting, so they might as well stay on it as modern nut fitting is a ball ache (as I discovered). The stem is etched with the name of the bike's original rider; if I was buying the frame I'd have to have that. I just taped the bars so that cost a fiver, seems crazy to untape them and sell them for that.
So, if that goes as a package it doesn't leave much; a tyre, some brake levers, a saddle, a back wheel, sprocket, a new chain (I might as well keep that), and some cranks.
