All
Well, I did query the seller as to why he was reselling the bike. For the record, I got no response so far (after 36 plus hours). Not a surprise to me.
Thus I cancelled my bid.
Trouble is, It is a bike that interests me a lot at 57 cm c-c; only 1 centimeter smaller that I want.... But I would not feel right every time I rode it knowing it ought to be Tam's bike.
