I'm stripping a frame that has these, claw and all. Sadly everything in the frame is garbage and about to get tossed; long story short I paid $50 to keep just the frame. It is one of the old Fuji/Marlboro/Taiwan made folding bikes.

Would need new tubes and tires, rear brake sticking. Rims somewhat out of true. No rust. When I went to meet the kid selling it. Really bad neighborhood he was riding it. He said the last owner told him it was from the 1960s then corrected himself and said 50's....uh...ok...
The good...Chromoly frame. Forgot to bring a magnet so I don't know if the rims are steel or aluminum.
I'm guessing it would cost me $60 for new tubes and tires. I'd have to farm out the rim truing ($40?). The brakes and derailleurs I can fix.
Am I underestimating prices? Would it cost more? Of course that's just to make it rideable. This winter on swap cables and regreased bearings.
