WTB: Tall track frame (60-62cm)
Aloha, posting this on behalf of a student who frequents our bike coop.
Long story short, he's ridden an old Motebecane road bike as a fixed setup for about a year now. It's a beater and he's saved up for a better frame, something with track ends and drop outs and steeper geometry.
So, looking for a tall classic track frame in the 60-62cm range. Steel. Maybe early aluminum? Something unique or with a story would be cool. Brake drilling not necessary, but OK. Paint not important but would prefer to avoid rust issues...the salty air here eats things.
Aiming for a $600 ceiling on a worthwhile frame, including shipping to Hawaii (~$150).
Whose hoarding the tall ones?
Reply by posting here or PM me if you've got a line on one.
Happy Holidaze.

I have this unique Keith Anderson. I recently purchased off ebay for $650 and shortly after bought my old 3Rensho back. With 2 projects, would consider selling for what I purchased (saddle and post not included). 61 ctc ST

That Keith Anderson is awesome and you should totally go for that.
There are some on eBay, though, if you haven't tried there:(60, 61, 62, 63, 64, xl, xxl) (track, fixed, single) eBay search
If not the Keith Anderson, the Cannondale track might be a strong recommendation given the rust issue.

The Benotto with the Cinelli bb piqued his interest but there are too many unknowns for me to suggest he pursue it.
