It might be a size to big for me but i'm willing to go try it out if it's a good deal. honestly the only thing that attracted me is the adorable star paint job that I assume is done well because the poster says it's a "400 dollar custom paint job". They say it's a Wheeler frame from the 80s with the drop outs changed for track ends. If this bike is what they say it is shouldn't they be asking much more? here is the add for refrence:

The stamps at the top of the chainstays seem to confirm the make. I don't know anything about Wheelers, but it looks like a cool, well-built bike and a decent deal -- if it fits, that is.
