Singlespeed & Fixed Gear "I still feel that variable gears are only for people over forty-five. Isn't it better to triumph by the strength of your muscles than by the artifice of a derailer? We are getting soft...As for me, give me a fixed gear!"-- Henri Desgrange (31 January 1865 - 16 August 1940)

Judging by the fender eyelets on the track ends, the fancy-pants lug shorelines, the relatively relaxed geometry and (what sort of look to be) wrap around seat stays, I'm going to guess that it's an older, British, path racer frame. If the price is, as you say, right, then you should go for it. The cinelli finishing tape is just for show, I'd imagine.

That would be a sweet effing city ride.

I agree with m. Paint'r up and toss on some moustaches and a racing green books and youd have quite the beaut.

Bikes: heh, like that info would fit here...

I agree, if the price is right, that bike could be built up into a beautiful street bike. The lugs, stays, and brake bridge seem to have details that a builder wouldn't have put into a crap frame. Just make sure that the inside isn't completely rusted out. And before you build do some serious rust treatment.
