I emailed the guy to try and help him out he seems just in need of help. He insists that the bike is not a half as conversion and is a high end track bike.

he's got another bike that looks like it's got the same frame construction - https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/bik/3414415486.html
and a third - https://orangecounty.craigslist.org/bik/3371201846.html
this one is also a hoot with "TRIATHLON TIME TRIAL" in the headline

Saw this little gem today. Customized with duct tape? I feel that it really represents both the up and coming art scene and the emphasis on bike culture in Pittsburgh.

I figured it had to be a typo, so I emailed the seller:
No. Two thousand
It'd be a tough sell at $200... Hope they're feeling patient.
