Trek SSL "prototype" on Ebay: Is it for real?
Saw a Trek SSL on Ebay last night (Carbon 55, 14.9 lb bike). Item number 3695860661. Auction closes today at about 3pm PST. Pictures show a bike using pictures posted elsewhere which show Armstrong's SSL. Seller doesn't respond to emails. Bike has no reserve and is apparently in Spain.
Trek reportedly won't start delivery of this model in limited numbers until November and the retail price is $6999.00. The current bid is about $3500
Is this for real or a scam?

I call shenanigans...
look at the last bidder safebidder5 and I knew I had seen those pictures before --> Cycling News. Also, look at the stuff the seller has sold/bought before..nothing is cycling stuff and all of the sudden he's selling Madones...
Sounds like hijaked account to me...

Not to mention the fact that the seller's information looked like this during their previous transactions:

...apparently Chrislogin2000 has made a big move from Arizona to Barcelona! Definitely a hijacked User ID!
