Interesting conundrum: The seller writes in his auction description, "Never ridden (New Old Stock) frame and groupo. Measures 59Cm Center to center. Everything on bike is new, never ridden or used. Even the frame and fork." and later "The Speed Play pedals are on the bike so it could be built and tested."

So... "I tested the bike out but it has never been ridden." Huh? Ooooooh, it makes my brain hurt!
