Chris,
I'm not sure I get it. If you are familiar with casanova9898 as a reliable seller, you must notice that he has access to an amazing (and let's hope nearly inexhaustable) supply of extremely desirable on-topic goods. But somehow you don't trust his Colnago items? In this case, I think you'd have to admit that his "lots of quantities" are hardly suspicious -- shoot, he's got large quantities of many things more scarce than Colnago-pantographed bits and pieces, and as far as I know the authenticity of those items is not in question. I think I'd give him the benefit of the doubt.

I, myself, would third (or fourth?) that. My transactions with him have been nothing but perfect. But thats not quite the topic though.
