Pinarello puzzler

I am looking at a Pinarello, Ebay Item number: 190241593784 (my comp. will not let me copy the link).

It seems like a somewhat plain, but nice, solid frame from a top notch builder, but...

Why doesn't it have a chrome fork? (It has been repainted; that could explain-that hurts value either way, no?) Why are the components mostly Suntour? Is this a stock, low end model from a great framebuilder, or a Frankenbike? It's not one of those "He sold his name to Huffy, so any bike made after 19XX makes a nice lawn ornament..." deals, eh? Is it worth the price, more, less, general opinions?

thanks
