I believe those two pics of the white bike are not of the same bike. The side shot isn't very clear but that looks like a PX10 frame with chromed rear. The front shot has Aztec lugs, appears to be an early 70's UO8. It also has DT pump studs and no mounting point on the ST, but the side shot has a pump on the ST and (as far as I can tell) no pump stud on the DT. The side shot bike also has a Stronglight alloy crank which I believe did not come with the UO8 bikes of the vintage indicated by its decals. Judging from the price, the front shot may be the real bike but the side shot is either a stock photo or a subtle attempt to mislead.
That doesn't mean it isn't a decent bike. (I still ride my UO8 occasionally.) It looks big.
