Has anyone seen any more "ink" on this auction than the snippet reported at the cyclingnews site?

http://www.cyclingnews.com/news/?id=2002/jul02/jul09news

quoting from same:

"Coppi's bike goes for 9000 euro

A bike belonging to Fausto Coppi has been auctioned off for 9000 euro in Clermond-Ferrand, France, to help raise money for a cycling museum. Coppi won the 1950 edition of Paris-Roubaix on the machine, which was expected to fetch around 4000 euros. However, a collector Nancy thought it was worth more than that, and paid 9000."

Is this the one that several listmembers believed to have been refinished then cobbled together with incorrect parts?
