Cinelli Frame on Amazon
Found a pretty fast-looking Cinelli frameset on Amazon. But looking down at the reviews, apparently the fork shown in the pic IS NOT INCLUDED(!?).
Such BS, I think I'll just stick with buying used bikes in Craigslist, it doesn't look as though Amazon can be trusted not to bait and switch. Even the sleaziest CL seller would not even try to pull something this outrageous.

You do realize any 3rd party seller can put on Amazon whatever they want... So yeah Amazon is pretty much the wild west, unless you only buy things "Shipped from and sold by Amazon". (and even then...)
Other than that, looks like a pretty generic alloy frame with a cool paintjob. The title says "frame set" which typically refers to the frame + fork if I am not mistaken. But the listing details say nothing about a fork, which is suspicious.
At least Amazon has a generous return policy, so you can always return it..
