Sorry man, ironically your thread inspired me to do another ebay sweep for pursuit bikes, and I came up with that. You were smart enough not to post a link, but I knew something was up... I've been hurting ever since I lost a 3Rensho pursuit (24" front) because it went over $900 for just the frame. Then the guy turned it into a piece of **** and put track drops on it. It's in the Jackass FGG Bike of the Day thread 3 or 4 pages back.
As for the bidding, you wouldn't have won anyway, another guy tried to snipe me. It was $34 only a couple hours before the end, then went up to $70 and hour before, then I bid a max of $126 with a minute to go, and employed the double-snipe. $126 was to get a potential sniper to try to outbid me with a higher amount thus wasting his valuable time and distracting him (which happened), but $350 was my max, which I entered during the last 10 seconds. The other guy could only bid once before the end, raising it to $188. Unless that was you.. sorry!
I'm going to have a welder friend of mine replace the dropouts with horizontal ones and remove the brazes and maybe the brake mount between the chainstays. Then I'm going to have it powdercoated white because I know where to get it done for cheap. I'm going to try to get a tubular rear disk wheel and paint it white if it isn't already. I'll use the front tubular and probably put a Selle Italia SLR saddle on it, Sugino RD cranks, Salsa Chainring, EAI cog, Nitto bullhorns and some decent bottom bracket.
Sorry for all the text, I'm pretty damn excited. If any of you have a 700c rear tubular disk that would accept track, or know someone that does, and would be willing to part with it for $200 or less, let me know!
