What a terrible description. Only mentions Serotta in the caption and no sizing information.

yuck
The frame color is fine, but those gold components and velocity rim color is putrid. Yells HIPSTER. I have a nice vintage Campy pista group I would put on it, if I could get the frame alone.

what do you expect - it looks like it's owned by some hipster fixie kid who has never used it on a track.

Bingo. With that 46X18 gearing and 155 crank arm length he'd be spinning at 220 or so to keep up. And if it is being used on the road -- no brakes?

It's starting to get a little fishy -- I sent the seller a question about size, and here is the response:

SORRY EVERYONE FOR NOT PUTTING THE SIZE UP: THIS IS A 49CM Bike FRAME. THIS WOULD BE PERFECT for Someone 5,4"-5,9"
I am 5,7" with an inseam of 30 and this bike fit me perfect. I didn't ride it at all in fear of crashing or having it stolen. It's more of a piece of ART to me.

track 49???? weird, his inseam is too long for a 49 and for that saddle height.

Sincerely that frame looks more like a 50.

Easily liquidate the build in the mecca of hipster trash, Brooklyn, NY. More than happy to assist.
