It might well be worth the OP's time and alittle bit of money to put this baby back together and flip it for a very tidy profit...
The ebay bicycle, while being the same frame, does not have the same components. The ebay bicycle has the original Ultegra components, this one has much lower level and appears to have been orignally stripped then built back up with whatever was on hand. The rear derailleur is a cheap vertical parallelogram model, the crankset is swaged, the bars are steel, the levers have safety extensions, etc. The components them selves add minimal value, maybe $25-$50, so this would go for $150-$200, as is.
