PERFECT FOR DUI VICTIMS! because people who get their license suspended for a DUI are "victims". I wonder what you call the people that get run over by drunk drivers?

I'm not the most innocent here. However, I'd like to victimise this guy and watch as his eyes light up and he goes, "Oh this is the definition of Victim! Man I was way off."

I have the ultegra version, but it's way too small for me. Destined for ebay. hoping for $200+

What is way too small? The one in the link is too big for me, I probably need something around a 53 - 56 (I'm 5'10 with a 31.5 or so clearance). If you are looking to get rid of a bike that I may be interested in let me know!

I'm starting to lean towards purchasing a frame as I recently came across this (http://www.austinyellowbike.org/services.htm), which would allow me to learn how to build a bike up from scratch for simply volunteering some of my time or making a small donation. That said, I'm still pretty obsessed over getting an actual non-conversion fixed gear which limits my options some unless I find a good deal here or on craigslist, or Bike Island gets a shipment of the Kilo TT's in.

Aye, those bike co-ops are great we have a few I know of in Florida and it always makes for a fun day. If you are looking to get a real track frame you can always just take whatever you have to one of the YellowBS's and build away. I used to use "Crank it Up" in Tallahassee to build and true wheels. That's where I also learned what happens when we over tighten spokes. I say get a TT and build it up from there. I wish I'd read you searching for a frame sooner there was a fuji 58cm that went for under $200US last night. I'll keep an eye out for ye. I travel loads too so I'll watch the CL's and see if I can't ship anything your way, if you're willing to pay for shipping that is.
Again, you can always start to buy parts that you are going to want Wheels, cranks, headset, etc. find a bike at the Co-op to slap them on and then order a TT/whateves when the time comes and BLAMMMO! Two bikes one a beater with the tt parts and the tt mated with your fancy stuff.

(Yes I'm generally long winded and all the coffee does not help.)

Haha, no worries, I appreciate all the detail. This forum is amazing, I'm very grateful for all the help I've been getting in my short time here.

I think that's what I'm going to do unless a good deal pops up while I am trying to decide on the frame. If do come across something that would be worth the effort to ship I would most definitely pay for the costs involved, so by all means look around if you are willing!

I plan on making a trip over to that co-op this week so I can get an idea on what they have to offer in terms of frames/parts, although I'm just getting into this so I don't exactly know what to look for other then "that looks like a piece of **** and this looks like it's in good condition". Thanks to Sheldon Browns site I can also now spot a horizontal/vertical drop, so that should help too.

I'd put this up in Class&vin, but I don't see an Ebay thread there.
So not a ss/FG... yet, but

Thank you very much, everyone, for taking a look. It truly warms my heart.
wtf? who says that?

Actually, I just sold it back to a friend today. He sold it to me cheap and I sold it back at parts cost + original cuz he said promised to start riding. Good luck on your search. The rest of what I have is 60cm+ and mostly boat anchors weight-wise.

The traffic flow to his page just from here is probably enough to double his avg hit count. He's probably excited about all the action.

Check the seller's other items. Reminds me of the people that take pictures of shiny things while naked.

Those frames look almost exactly like IROs. I'd guess he gets them from the same Taiwanese factory.
