I just posted on ebay, but if someone contacts me from here,
I can stop the auction.

This is a custom Rock Lobster road bike that has been
converted to a fixed gear bike. The frame and fork are
lugged Columbus SLX, with Campy horizontal dropouts in the
rear. There is a braze-on for a front derailure. The frame
and fork are about 8 years old, never crashed and ridden
less than 10 times in the last 3 years. I built it up in the
current configuration for winter riding, but never got into
fixed gear training.

This is a custom sized frame, and has a long top tube.

The frame: ST: 53cm c-t TT: 59cm c-c Head angle: 74 Seat
angle: 74 Fork is a straight blade Columbus SLX painted
"School Bus" yellow.

The parts: Salsa Bar and stem (44cm/12.5cm). Shimano Dura
Ace cranks and BB (172.5). Shimano 600 HS. Front Shimano
105 brake/lever. No rear brake and lever is a dummy. Front
wheel is Shimano 600 hub on Mavic Open 4 CD. Rear wheel is
Via Sunshine Pro Track on Campy box rim. Brand new
Vittoria Technosport 700x23c tires. American Classic
seatpost with Selle San Marco saddle (Trek VW saddle).
Rear fender. No pedals.

This is a great riding bike, even as a fixed gear for the
road. I'm selling because I no longer have the time to
devote to the sport like I did, and having extra or specific
bikes just isn't justifiable any more. Keep it as a fixed
gear; put a gruppo on it; keep it as a second rain bike, or
first time road bike, you'll be happy with this bike.
