I was browsing vintage road bikes on Ebay, as I love to do, when I came across this ad for a Rolls Colnago with a fantastic history (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280719668315&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT).

So I came here and looked for info on the bike, which I was not familiar with. My search led me to this archived thread (http://www.bikeforums.net/archive/index.php/t-72978.html).

If you read down the thread to "lolaworks" comment, you'll see that it matches word for word the Ebay listing. That threw me for a loop, and made me suspicious of a scammer. OR, it could be that "lolaworks" is selling his/her bike. Weird?

Lazy seller just copied & pasted.

Only the first part of that seems applicable to that frame.

No cut out on the BB, so that Colnago stuff is like those word problems you used to get in math class, extraneous info.

Why would you buy something from such an obviously dishonest seller?
