I sent a message to the seller:

"Hello, do you have any other photos of the frame? Do you have photos of the frame before the repaint? I would like to see a shot of the rear triangle from the rear to discern that everything is straight. I would also like to see pictures of the bottom bracket and fork threads if possible. Also a view looking down the head tube and seat tube would be very helpful. Can you specify what the rear triangle span is?"

His reply:

"Thanks for your interest but I don't have additional photos of the frame at this time.
Questions about the frame's appearance prior to refinishing, rear triangle trueness and threads are out-of-line since its addressed in the ad and questions the trustworthiness of the advertised description. Perhaps purchasing face-to-face will better suit such concerns.
Rear stays are original 126mm and may be easily cold-set to 130mm if desired."

The last frame I bought on ebay had a crack hidden beneath the paint. After discovering it I removed the fork and looked down the head tube to find a band of rust inside the head tube that followed the crack.

This might be a fair price on a good, solid frame but based on his response and past experience, it isn't for me.
