i heart cannondales from the 90s

Before I got my bike, I spent hours pouring over pictures on http://velospace.org/, a bike site not uncommonly referred to as "bike porn." These Cannondale track bikes from the 90s seem to have a perfect design, I even like the wide down tube that Cannondale is known for--not to mention the metallic blue color, which seems to be hard to reproduce (see this thread: http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/index.php/t-409067.html). I think the smallest size this frame comes in is a 50cm but I would love to get my hands on it someday. I just checked ebay for this frame out of curiosity--which for some reason is advertising brass knuckles for $10.95--but found only this model, which is selling for $399. It kind of reminds me of something from Nascar:















Please, let me stumble upon this frame one day:
