It doesn't take "track frame knowledge" to tell if a bike is rideable or not. It really only takes the ability to ride a bike.

You're jumping to tons of conclusions like you did before. All we know is that the seller didn't know much about the bike and made some stuff up. It could be a converted road bike, cross bike, or mountain bike. It may have been done by a reputable builder. It may be the frame that Christ rode into Jerusalem. You can't say that because it looks kind of like a junky bike that you had once that it's definitely a horrible bike that has been chopped to bits by a blind dude with a blow torch.
