EDIT(wrong link):http://cgi.ebay.com/56-cm-Peugeot-Fixed-Gear_W0QQitemZ7222542920QQcategoryZ98084QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Huh?

Also, that bike is ridiculous looking.

Haha, that's better.
Yeah, $225 seems like a pretty good deal.

Good buy, I say.

I like it. But I'm told that i'm easy.

i've umm...seen siqqq'er

good deal. no matter what is really on it, buying a complete track frame for 225 is a deal.

pretty sure its a conversion because of the brake lines.

it's not a track frame.

Looks like a nice setup, but the gearing is low for my taste. I'd swap that 39 for a 42 or even bigger unless you've got a lot of hills around.

it's not a track frame.

yeah; it's a converted Peugeot 10 or 12 speed road bike. I have a frame that looks exactly like that (based on the proportions, brake bridge, and the shape and placement of the cable guides). A pretty decent frame for a conversion from what I have seen.

yeah, I'm tired right now. I started typing that up but then started searching ebay for track frames. So, that phrase was in my head when I meant to say "complete bike".

Very nice! Good deal.

you coulda done worse.

Yup, coulda been this:

this bike is the ****!

70 pounds doesn't seem unreasonable

Haha, I know people who live in the general vicinity of that trike.

I am considering buying it and paying the guy to drop it in their front lawn.

pretty sure its a conversion because of the brake lines.
?????????

I have seen trck bikes with brake lines and brake holes drilled on them... man if u figure it out what kind of frame it is based in "because of the brake lines" u need to come back to cycling 100/ 55 maybe :P

What I think its that this two will become good deal...

^ WTF are you talking about?

i would love to roll into a trackstanding competition on that thing

Good score on the Peugeot! Many more dollars would have been spend on those upgrades. Best parts are probably 1. rear wheel / cog 2. crank (though by no means "high end", you lucked out and got something intended for fixed / ss and in 165, nice for conversions) and 3. Turbo saddle...those rock.

i am aware that track bikes sometimes have lines and holes, thank you. but i personally have never heard of a track bike with horizontal drop outs. maybe you need to go to bicycle whatever number thing.

i am happy with my purchase.

or fender holes....or derailleur holes....or a derailleur cable guide....

Anyway, even if the frame were made of excrement this would be a good value in parts. (which it's not, it's a high quality frame).

yeah man. good deal. good job on the ebaying.

not bad. i just sold something similar on craigslist for 300.

hope its not french thread...

ultraman's actually pretty knowledgeable, but i don't think english is his first language.

that paramount is pretty, though.

the seller got the best out of that deal.
