The Linear wasn't a track bike, at least mine (see: http://home.earthlink.net/~jeverett3/cycling/nishiki2.gif) isn't. I've seen them appear on ebay from time to time and most have a hard time getting $300(US) for them. As these bikes are now banned by the UCI they only have value as curiosities, or to be used in independently sanctioned (e.g. ABR) events.
