Just to note that a "1" was lost from the end of the item #, the correct number of the apparently fake bike is 270146292741.
(FWIW, I also remember the original listing, and the new one looks
ridiculous... IMO obviously a fake. I'm surprised though - currently
there are already 3 bidders for this, all with quite some eBay
experience - I would imagine that anybody likely to be interested in
buying such a bike would've seen/remember the original listing, esp. as
the photos include a very specific background that's obviously unique to
the original seller...)
