Looks like you have been taken. I saw the same bike offered on Craigslist awhile back. If you look carefully you'll see its a very cheap Chinese imitation. A careful look at the script on the brakes, for example, reveals that instead of Dura Ace it says Dure Ase which is the phonetic chinese translation for "big dummy". Hope fully you did not pay more than a couple hundred bucks for it. If you'd like, there is a Books on Wheels Project here in Richmond where folks sell el cheapo bikes to college kids and then use the proceeds to buy library books. If you want to send it out, I'll make sure you get a tax deduction....

No need to thank me. That's what friends are for. Have a good day pal.
