Beware of bike that previously sold on ebay. The seller says he is visiting family in Canada and wants a quick sale. Smelled kinda fishy to me, so I searched on ebay and see that Santana auctioned the bike around Christmas. Now this scammer is trying to sell it again.

Did you flag to Craigslist it as a possible Scam?

Here's the completed ebay listing: http://cgi.ebay.com/SANTANA-TANDEM-bicycle-Titanium-w-S-S-couplers-NR_W0QQitemZ320205732914QQihZ011QQcategoryZ56192QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem

Certainly seems to be the same bike. Comparing photos, the one with the garage door in the background ....seems like same bike different views, and identical background.
