Because it's an ungraciously Drew'ed road Gooch.
Drilled brake bridge was the first tipoff. The Cinelli BB obviously has evidence of brazed-on guides too, DO's swapped out, etc; pretty much everything has been spotted save for the bridge.
BBM -
some of the chrome is bare steel, specifically, anything that isn't the right (and perhaps left) chainstay. I'm unbelievably curious as to whether the paint was creatively stripped and scraped into that pointed design (keep in mind the half million of these things that have popped up with generic red or blue paint w/o decals), or whether it has been subject to an El Cheap-o repaint.
Anyone have a broken Canon 40D to trade him? I dare say it would make for a very even trade

It most definitely isn't original, and it's probably the only genuine bit in the entire deal.
The seller would be better off selling the fork - with a free frame.
