I note that the primary pic also shows what appear to be Mavic gold rims while the other pics show a different wheelset (with the aforementioned incorrect skewers and a six-speed block). The bottle cage (TA?) has also been removed. The stem has a recessed binder bolt - available in 1974? I'd like to check out the other pics and see if anything else has been "substituted".
So the question: what exactly does the seller mean by "Eddy's bike"? Frameset with perhaps a part or two? We already know the wheelset is suspect; what else?
The whole "trust me, I have extensive info and if I'm charging $25,000 you better believe it's real" approach really tests my patience; after all, dude, you're
just another guy on the internet 
No providence, no big bucks. That much should be obvious to a seller in this day and age - or maybe not.
