the ONLY mark anywhere on the frame is the GT symbol on the back of the top tube, where it sticks through the seat tube, no number on the BB shell, or on any of the tubes.

the original paint was long gone, and the bike had been black, then blue, then orange, then black, and now this horrid tiger stripe crap. it'll be back from the blasters firday)
Interesting, it def looks like a converted road frame given the geometry and the canti bosses. Take some closeup shots of the rear dropouts. Honestly even if it is $300 for it isn't bad if the conversion was done well. I've NEVER seen nor heard of a GT track bike with cantibosses.
