It's bad enough you're getting SIHAMNO, but they make up for it by telling you it's Equipnent.
Hopefully, the majority of these bikes will end up getting returned to Amazon, and Amazon will stop selling them through their site. After all, I've seen ads on Facebook for brand new Trek Emonda SLR9 bikes on sale for $499! (I don't understand why delivery is taking so long, the company processed my payment months ago. I still don't understand why they needed Target gift cards, though.)

I stand corrected, it's a Madone SLR7, still looks like a pretty good deal!

Begasso has hit the local CL with a $200 ask:

Seller says you'll need to adjust some things.
