I think it is the tall BMX bars that pushes this one to wacky for me, trying to picture someone riding this? Maybe interesting if you need a bike this tall?

This isn't a Brooks, it can't be; eBay didn't agree with me.
I'm shocked, Brooks said it is.

Very well-thought out custom frame turned into a hack job by the component/build choice. Chain tensioner, front cable/housing too long, singlespeed with only a front brake, garish colors, ugly chainring, super long stem with swept back bars...
Must have been a pandemic purchase. I am angrier than I should be because the frame geometry is damn near exactly what I want for a road bike.

Sky-high track bike!
https://www.facebook.com/marketplace...5109911858305/
Seller says: "58 cm "alloy" Keirin Track Frameset. No brakes or gears. Added spacer on head tube and large seat - I still have the original seat if you are interested $150 obo...will entertain any offer"
It's a new concept in track bikes -- tractor saddle, sky-high upright position, and flipped bullhorn bars for that boulevard cruiser feel -- but keeping it hardcore with no brakes -- track only!

This bike was literally "Thrown to the curb" . At least they are not asking for crazy money. There is also the chance that you can ride around the streets of Hacienda Heights and find this before the garbage collectors.

Cinelli? freshly powder coated bottom bracket? and lower headset cup? powder coated while the chain was still on the bike?

This spelling of Schwinn is a new one on me and is just me or does it look like there might be slight ding in the top tube?

I shake my head every time I see an ad where the brand name/model is misspelled even though it is on the bike in the photo. C’mon people, get it together…

Looking at the top tube I think it was hit so hard all the letters got knocked around and jumbled up.

Stem mount shifters, Schwinn approved front mech, tubulars with Schrader valves, externally routed cables on the bars...but it has hydraulic brakes going for it plus those downhill handlebars - this beauty can be yours for $508.62.
