I just got the following message from him after asking why he had photos of two different bikes on the auction page:
"No misleading intended, but when the listing was first posted there were no pics of the bike for sale so a stock De Rosa photo was used. The bike for sale is shown in the new photos."
ok, but my question and answer are not listed on the
web page. whoever is bidding 5k bucks has some poor
eyesight or something. it's a nice bike, but
really...
