I saw that ad like 10 minutes after it was posted. Had I lived closer I'd probably own that bike! It's a Lotus Super Pro Aero.
Four hours after the posting someone re-listed the bike for $500.00. You know, because four hours is enough time to give it a complete reconditioning and earn the $300.00 mark up.

They were pedaling so hard that the BB heated up, melted the grease right out and then even melted the brazing...
My guess is some BMX master was messing around on it and hopping and the BB shell was just not up to that kind of abuse.
