The advantage of band on components is that when you remove the gears and the back brake there will be no redundant brazed on cable guides - it will look much cleaner, cooler and more like a track bike like this.
There's no indication of the brand or tubing in the ad but I think it would be a good one just because it's a nice looking bike and all you'll *need *to shell out for to convert it is a new rear wheel (assuming all the other bits are fine).
It's cheap at the moment although there have already been 18 bids so there's obviously a lot of interest.
