Opinion: Is this a good trade?
**Links don't seem to work here are both:

This Unknown..
-Stock parts/ noname
-All the 'Unknown' "Upgrades" including carbon forks, seatpost, and rider bars. A better stem and headset, also made by unknown with box rims and thick slicks.
Saw a bike that I think may be a bit more understated ;

Drivetrain:
Crankset - Factory Five pista cranks. 144bcd. Lattice Chainring 47T. Tange BB - made in Japan.
Cog - EAI Steel track cog 17T

I'd love to get some opinions.. And its not an actual trade. I would be selling mine for the same price, and already have a few interested buyers.

Looks pretty decent. I didn't even know F5 made frames though, so I have no idea if they're any good. Also, if it's gonna see street use, I'd say get something that you can put a brake on.

Ya... For sure even if I only use it 1% of the time I need the brake just in case.

The Unknown is finally gone. Now I'm debating what to get next.. The f5 or maybe a Cinelli Vigorelli frame and build it up... Although the f5 pista frame is really really tempting.
