The auction listed by "lollylegs66" item #7215217935 was removed by ebay.

Several CR members wrote to defend "sssspeedster" -- so I hope that this other guy who "borrowed" his pictures doesn't hurt sssspeedster's ability to sell his bike.

> I've seen several ebay listings recently for Masi bicycles, from different sellers, and from foreign countries -- a few of the auctions have been ended early (and removed by Ebay?), and others only run for about 1 day. But they all use the exact same photos of the exact same bike. One of the sellers ( lollylegs66 in Australia) claims that if you win the auction, you can select from many sizes. Another, "sssspeedster " says he ships directly from Italy. The two most recent of the auctions have the following auction numbers 7215217935 7215222171.
