If it was local to me (and I didn't have an '88 Voyageur in the same size waiting for the time to be right that my wife doesn't say, "another bike?" to build up), I'd say maybe that's a good deal and call about seeing it at the very least.

That's not an ideal place to mount a waterbottle, especially if your bike lacks mudguards. So why is it there? I mount a fuel bottle there when I'm bike camping.

I wouldn't mind having it but don't buy 25" bikes or frames any more. Got one (it's now been years) that I have ridden once and I still have some older tall ones I should part with.

If not a water bottle then a Co2 canister for inflating flats. You can also put tools in a water bottle and sling it under the down tube. Fuel bottle is a solid choice, too.

So the scam is to take a cheap schlock bike, make it look like a recent aluminum Cannondale.... and get a hunnerd bucks for it?
That's work, the BSO costs money, the decals cost money... I'm stunned this is worth the effort.
I might fall for that... it's not my cup of tea, I don't really know this type of bike, but from the pictures, it doesn't jump out at me as fake.
Up close, I hope I would catch the "GMC Denali" quality of the parts, but this whole adventure makes no sense to me.

The bike varies but it is always a real pic of a bike worth much more than $100 and a link to a sketchy commerce site. This is my current favorite, have a feeling english might be a second language:
