I'd ride it, and I'm 250#. Techniums are great bikes, I have one for my teenage son right now, and as the seller says, $40 is a great price for the component set alone if you don't want the frame. Suntour accushift 6sp system is pretty good, although I can't tell if either of the derailleurs are actually still on the bike. Wheels are probably decent for the vintage too.
