If you intend to ride it, then it will certainly need a full service. can you do it properly yourself?
New cables, tyres, brake blocks, labour etc etc. wont be cheap if you are paying for it to be done.
The bike is a 10ish year old model, originally about £299
Depends what you want to use it for?

Shrink it (the photo) to a more sensible size? 
How about putting slicks on it and using it as a going-to-the-shops-bike? It's not as though you would be heart-broken if it was stolen!
Or ... how about putting slicks on it and converting it to a singlespeed or even fixed gear bike? Even better if you could get hold of some rigid forks and stick them on. If you ask around, I'm sure that someone would donate a pair, or sell you them at a bargain price.
