Look at the clearance on that fork - appears to be for 27" wheels. Regardless, it's way more than you'd expect on a dedicated track bike. I agree that this is totally fishy.

Oh, just read this on the questions:

Q: Is this a road frame with track droup outs? Jan-17-08
A: It was originally a road bike that has had all the excess metal grinded off, surly track drop outs were added by a professional frame builder and frame and fork was powder coated. I was into the fixed gear thing and to do some velodrome riding in San Diego but later moved to AZ- Now it just takes up space in my garage. The bike rides smooth as you would expect a steel lugged frame to.
