For the price of the bike... I'd expect it to be handled like it as an ancient Egyptian artifact.

Nonetheless, as a buyer or seller, I wouldn't trust the E-Bay resolution center do deal with things like a rear sprocket rubbing against the frame.

To the OP, I think those colors are beautiful, especially with the black being CF. Lovely looking bike, and I'm sure it will ride nicely with a chainstay length that matches my mid-low end Fuji Supreme, because that thing rides great!

There's a guy selling a vintage Italian bike (no kidding) in my size (65cm range, rare..er) for $5k or $6k, I forget. "Tubulars need to be replaced. I can do so for a small upcharge." As they say: "Dude. Seriously?" Best of luck to him and all that, but man...

Is that an asymmetrical chain?

Anybody use those? I'd almost expect the chain to be flipped the other way for better retention.
