I remember seeing a Prolite Carbon Track frame going on eBay for a $350 BIN price. I almost ordered it out of sheer thrill. It was the right size, but it had this really funky custom plaid paintjob. The same seller had other frames going for $1500+. Not sure what the deal was.

i'd assume a carbon track frame that is painted in anything even closely resembling a team theme that's buy it now for substantially less than other items the seller has is a crashed race bike.

The only nice Leader frame out there is the 722TS IMHO, which is most certainly not an aero aluminum frame.

I personally want to get an aero frame, mainly because i like the beefy look, so i was hoping to get a list of them together and make a single thred to help people that want one.
(aero frame as in flat bar type frame as opposed to round tube type, has the cutout for the rear tire in the seattube, etc)

Haven't been down there in quite some time. What are they asking for those, and what sizes?
