Hey all!

First posting to Classic Rendezvous List after I stumbled upon it through some other website.

I've been poring over ebay for a few weeks looking for a bike that is suitable, but nothing has really done the trick, and I'm usually pretty leery of ebay sellers since a lot of them don't have the most scruples.

Anyway, I'm looking for a lugged steel Italian frameset (or whatever you have attached to the frame) to start a sweet vintage fixie project. I'm planning on going vintage Campy and track bits on it as well, but I figure I'll start with a nice frame and go from there. Obviously a track frame would be optimal, so ANY lugged track frame is of interest as well. 54-56 cm C-C is what fits.

In particular, I like chromed forks (or half chromed) with minimal trail on the fork as well as other neato stuff like pantographs and such (doesn't everyone?). But I'm not too picky. So, let me know what you have laying around looking for a good home. If you're in the South, I might make a road trip to check it out. Thanks guys and gals.
