I got it.
Although I do not need it actually. But it has nice Ksyrium wheel and Nitto bar I would have.
Also it turned out it came with new set of bar/levers/brakes never intsalled
Everything else will require TLC (probably strip the paint from the rims - cause it is ugly, frame scratched a lot but no dings)..and I will try to sell it.. or keep it.. (?)

It's my size but the black rear triangle makes me a little wary.

Cheap Slingshot tri-bike, might be good for anyone into weird goofy tri-****. Full Shimano 600 according to ad.

If it weren't a little too big for me, it would be on my PedalRoom in about a week.

PORTLANDERS! Offer $500 on my behalf, dibs it, and ship it to me. I'm serious. I emailed the owner. Waiting to hear back.

How about either of these:
www.ebay.com/itm/De-Rosa-1982-Track-Frame-Set-55cm-White-Columbus-Campagnolo-Tange-NJS-Fixed-Gear-/200816432196
www.ebay.com/itm/Pake-French-75-Track-Frame-and-Fork-55cm-Blue-BRAND-NEW-w-FREE-UPS-SHIPPING-/350589058127
As a footnote, I'm not so much concerned about price as I am about value. I'd rather pay $800 for something that's worth $1200 than to pay $100 for something that's worth $50.

The first one is the frame you already posted.
The Pake French 75 is a great frameset and that's an awesome price. Nobody seems to want the blue ones now that it's available in matte black.

I had the Pake rum runner steel frame. A little heavy but still a great city bike. Never ridden their alu frame. I'd suspect it's decent too but not sure.
That other green frame looks awful.

Yeah, I want a nice little fixie to cruise around town with. But beyond that, no, I probably don't know what I want. I haven't set myself a price range. But I figure if I get a good deal, then I can always sell it later without much loss.

For what it's worth that green bareknuckle is a really good deal. Even with the uggo blue matchy match thing going on.
