Ever seen this before? Is it crazy? Am I a genius or a fool?

Actually, only $80, since no shipping costs.

Not really sure what I will do with it. I do have a vague plan to set up another fixed gear beater. Seems like it might be fun for that.

I think you'll just have to make sure to stick with the odd colors so that NOTHING matches.

I will see this frame in person later today, at the pickup. But, it is described as a cast aluminum frame. Is that true? Must be heavier than a normal frame? Is there any advantage to such a frame, other than the fact that it is unusual? Anyone ever own one?

thanks,

jim
