So I saw this Ironman go up on the local CL for $160. Looked at the photo, decided it was a 56cm and wouldn't bother.

Next day the ad got ninja edited to $260.

Today I see that it's made it to eBay.

Best part is that on eBay he admits the photo is not actually of their bike.

I love my Ironman but I would sell it in a New York minute for $800. First I would take off the 9 speed Dura Ace drivetrain though. As it sits I have about $700 in it.

That's called patina....but watch out for the stem and seatpost if this bike was used on triathlons, they could be now be welded to the frame after all that exposure to drippings from the swimming portion of the race......
