This is an aluminium track racing frame. The tubes, the welding and the alloy used are all high quality and if you rode one, you would see. The power that gets put to the road relative to your effort is much better then a heavy, flexy hi-tensile steel frame from create, unipack, etc. The longevity of the tubing is also much better then cheap steel.
The wheels are a similar story. The alloy used for the rims is same as expensive aluminium rims, unlike create and the others, not to mention stainless steel spokes which won't seize up after the first winter. The hubs are standard cones and bearings which are realiable and can be repacked unlike cheap cartridge bearings which can't take the loads that hubs are put through.
Selling only these things might be the answer, but I figured a complete bike would be easier to sell. So...
