The seller might be an idiot but that's still an awesome bike
I would buy it if I was in Dallas and owned a 24" front road wheel
Also, delorean, it's a time-trial bike... pursuit bikes are for track.

it's strange. super long toptube and no braze-ons or road type brake bridge.

doesn't seem to be a cobbled together road frame.

This is an odd sentiment repeated in this thread as the one true reason why triple triangle designs exist. While it may be partly true, I still haven't heard anyone chime in that with a triple triangle the seat can be further back over the rear wheel, similar to the effect of a curved seat tube or a cutout in an aero seat tube. You can get a much more compact and aggressive geometry this way of course which could suitable for track, pursuit and other frames depending on how you do it.
