    You have conflicting information here. In one area you say it's made of true temper steel and the square tubing found at Ace Hardware. On your online auction, you say it's made out of dedacciai from Italy. There is a big difference between 4130 True Temper steel, Dedacciai steel and the crap found on the shelfs at Ace Hardware.

    I like the frame design enough. I mean, at least it is mildly original-looking. But that is the worst color combination I have ever seen.

    Unlike this beauty:

    My friend build up a copper track bike also. Looks stunning. Notice the custom matching copper stem/bars that the pedal is resting on. The frame and everything was 100% custom.Photobucket

    Coppertone! Mmmmm...the green spoke nipples are an especially nice touch.

    Note, however, that he didn't go the Full Monty on the plating, as he could have. If he plated the spokes, why not the CK headset, Salsa seatclamp, Phils and crankarms as well? And didn't the pre-chili version of the Conti GP4000 come in a coppery brown?

    If you're going to tarck it out, commit.

    Anyway. The real issue is: You got something to sell? Post it in the right place, where everybody else is selling stuff. Rules is rules; if everybody throws a new thread up in the general pool every time they have something to sell, then this forum just turns into the Penny Saver.

    the top tube and down tube are dedacciai the seat tube is true temper and the chain stays are machined from stock purchased at ace hardware.

    Again: Not the place to post items for sale. There's a thread specifically for selling things, which you should already know if you've been here for 3+ years; click on this link, post your eBay listing there, and you can say whatever you want to say about it.

    But as long as you keep posting about it in a forum where buy/sell announcements are prohibited, people are going to keep ragging on you. Please take the hint.
