Is this fake?
so i was just doing some random browsing on fleabay, and i noticed this :
https://cgi.ebay.com/PINARELLO-BICYCL...#ht_500wt_1038
the head tube sticked is weird, and nothing looks typical of what pinarellos are. I do not in any way intend to buy this, but i just thought i'd ask you guys if it's fake.
Also it looks ridiculously over priced...

I have a similar looking Pinarello frame with the fastback stays but different fork. (from what I can tell from the bad photos). Was not a top of the line Pinarello. I have no idea what original parts were.

Since the seller didn't provide any good photos - identifying engravings and whatnot, for example - I'd be on the fence about whether or not it's a fake.
Trouble is, the seller will have difficulty selling without those detailed pics.
