Donor Bike

I just got a Raleigh Capri FWO off of FB Marketplace. I can't ride the bike because FWO stands for "For Women Only" and I am not a women. Plus the frame is too small for me, and more importantly there is a crack in the steerer tube. I am stripping it down for the parts. It was made circa 2004, and the components are Shimano 105's. I paid a $100 for it. Regardless it's inexpensive buying those components brand new. I don't know if I got played or got a deal.


Yes I know the frame is clamped to the stand, but I am not too worried about preserving the frame because the head tube is cracked.
