I suppose this just files under the heading of "I don't get it.."

How is it that a very poorly repainted Schwinn track frame with nervex lugs commands that kind of price?

That has to be among the most unattractive paint-jobs I've ever encountered. Nothing like the beautiful, thin paint the original would have had. You can barely discern the outline of the seat-lug!

I could see a fully original-finish frame of this kind going for over a grand (not over 2, though)..but over 2K for this?

I don't get it. Must be a Schwinn thing.
