    And how hardcore is this '5-10 year lifespan' bit?

    I've been offered a well priced, well used aluminium track frame? It's got no real dents, though the paint work is scratched to fuckery and I reckon it's seen about 5 years of street/track warfare. Whilst I'm happy to get a respray, am I completely stupid to consider this, since getting a new frame will probably mean shedding one of my others (now on the dreaded "one in, one out" rule)?
