Check the local CL everyday for people who don't know what they have and scoop it up. Hang out at local bike shops/ spots and get to know people and buy from friends. Best way to get good deals. Everything you posted is not worth a 100 bucks. I've gotten several frames or bikes under a 100 by just chance and having the cash on hand at the time.
Solid advice, thanks

Because all the cheap "track" frames are hi-ten steel or I'm just plain not a fan of them
