There's something fishy about that bike, maybe several things. Can't tell exactly from the pictures (gee, I wonder why) but lots of things don't match up. Doesn't look like a 52cm frame to me from the picture either. Personally, I'd be cautious at the very least.

***********On second look, the top-tube may not have brazed-on guides--those might be clips--but it's very hard, if not impossible, to tell for sure. One thing that IS for sure: the der cables run under the bottom bracket...and I haven't seen that at all on Cinellis from the 70s or early 80s. Even the early 80s SC I have with the later graphics has the cable guides above the bb shell. The later SR parts group on the ebay bike doesn't match the vintage of the graphics. Be nice to see some detail pics.
