I have some doubts about this bike. It has a 27.0 seatpost... The fork looks like it has been impacted... Plus the dropouts are missing the eyelets... Lastly, to get the steel bars to peel like that requires considerably abuse, so I am very leery about the inside of the frame. I am certainly not willing to put $1000 on the line with that much doubt.

PS: a friend of mine is supposed to go and see the bike in person this weekend before the auction ends, but having spoken with the seller, I have my doubts about it being a Cinelli.
