Thanks for thinking of me but as sweet as those look I think I'm going to pass, I'm looking for 16HPW's at the moment through for reasons below.
1. My best case scenario would be a salvageable/ orphaned one priced accordingly considering I have a orphan of my own at the moment.
3. I don't think I will have the heart to tear down such a wheel in mint condition to make it a track rear. The blasphemy!
2. I'm afraid of what my legs will do to them (I even hesitate at the thought of a 16 spoke rear) on a road bike, let alone track which is on the agenda for my next shamal.
Not to mention that's priced a bit high, they are uncommon but they do pop up on ebay if you keep an eye out or automatic notifications.

Any idea on the frame and is it sick or just sickening. I know $45 for a "petina" frame is steep, but could be a decent project if everything is set.

Wait until he gives up and throws it in the trash, and then go grab it.

What do you guys think would be a fair price for this (ignore the stupid brake, it has been changed)

I just got a "beater" at craigs for $300.
Not exactly dirt cheap but considering that it's a Fetish Attack with Velocities + carbon fork made me pull the trigger on this one. It's a good fit also.
Seen them around for few years and don't know why but I secretly coveted these frames even tho they are *nothing* special and I've ridden my fair share of nicer bikes : 07 Fuji Track Pro, 08 Argon Electron, 09 Fuji Track Pro, 09 SingleCX Tricross, 10 Leader 725.
Was very happy to see frame was pristine when I met the seller, spent sometime this afternoon wrenching/removing crankset. I already ordered Omniums hopefully will be here before the weekend, put a Thomson/fav saddle and bullhorns (all of these are my "leftovers).
So far is looking real good. Frame is shiny black w/ silver non-removable decals (under clearcoat). I believe the company went under water so these frames are no longer made. I seem to recall a firesale on ebay maybe 1-2 yrs back?
Can't wait.

Ad is still up:
https://inlandempire.craigslist.org/bik/3303573530.html
When *I* conclude any sale on CL I take my ads down immediately.
Don't bother with the seller tho, I bought it already.
It's mine now,

That's about right (iirc there was a NOS set on the bay and it went for quite a bit more; yes I was out balled on that one). As inflated the prices are for some 20+ year old wheels now (listed were of earlier make, decals are stickers as opposed to screenprint) I would've considered it after some deliberation and sleeping on but obviously I wouldn't have stood a chance at them considering the amount of impulse buying ballers there. =/
