I find it odd that of the 11 "for sale" pics only one shows the drive side, and only a section of the bike at that. Further, in that single pict there is the "Bottecchia" signature on the top tube and no Columbus sticker on the down tube; on the "build up" pict, again drive side, there is no signature on the top tube and there is a Columbus sticker on the down tube.

And the seller claims "ORIGINAL PAINT AND THE ORIGINAL DECALS."

Something smells in Sweden and its not the crayfish.

EDIT 2: Ok, the seller only claims that the build link "shows a nice complete bike" and does not explicitly claim it is the same bike. I would still ask for more pics of the head tube and underside of the down tube.
