I like the looks of these nicholson frames but at $250 is that a good price? Also never built a nicholson before I assume that all or at least most of the stock 110 components bolt on to these am I correct in assuming that, and does this one look to be in good shape and not missing anything important? I'm sure with a good blasting and some powder it would look great and I have a guy with some nice fiberglass fenders

Firstly, let me start by saying, that's a great frame. Secondly, from an even greater seller that I would highly recommend. Now for the details. That is a chromoly frame that would have originally had a zinc anodized finished which would have resembled a matted gold color. Also, this frame is meant to take an atc70 tank. The chromoly is stronger and lighter than the DOM mild steel frames. These frames will take the late 90 and early 110 parts, so basically 76-81 parts. You will have to use the proper upper head mount, single bolt hole, so I think the early 110 mount, but either head mount is switchable. Generally these frames take points engines, but you can use the later cdi engines, but you have to find a place to mount your cdi. The holes are already drilled for the stock coil, which you should see 2 holes on the right side upper engine plate. Depending on what front end you use, you may have to fab some fork stops. This frame has the original finish under whatever that black stuff is. The price is very decent, as I was looking to add another nicholson "racing" frame to my stable. There is a stock Nicholson frame on ebay that takes the standard 90/110 tank and fenders and is made out of mild steel for more money. Also, it's a Nicholson frame. From the man that made some truly great hardware for many racers back in the day. Buy the frame so I won't. Please. And be very respectful to the seller, if you would. I can make you this promise, if you don't like the frame or seller, I'll buy it from you for what you have in it, cost + shipping. You can't lose. I will personally vouch for the seller as well, and several other members on here would personally vouch for the seller. You won't hardly find a better guy.

One of Frank's sales? If so I totally agree with Veal on the seller recommendation.
