C'mon, Eddie Shack once owned it!

man. that thing was at $400 at the last 10min. it went for over a grand! NUTS!

other than current supply and demand issues that make track framesets go for more than road, i don't see any reason why one should cost more than another, per se. someone might prefer road geometry and horizontal dropouts and still want to ride fixed gear. i tend to prefer track frames and all that jazz like most of us here, but i am not under some illusion that they are necessarily superior or more deserving of high prices than more traditional road framesets. it just so happens that track **** is extremely popular these days.

parts are worth at least a grand, plus it's ready to ride; pull it out of the box and you're set.

not a screaming deal, but not a rip-off either imho.

yeah, sure, something in that range. nice parts, and it looks well taken care of, but it's also used and depreciated a bit. at least that's how i see it.

man. 57" center to center? that is freakin' huge!!! (yes, i know. mistake, but i wish people would look before they post that sort of thing.) very well done bike, though.
