This is the seller who had a Gitane with the geometric drop outs, that had Colnago decals on it. When told point blank that it was a Gitane and not a Colnago, he did NOT change his listing. He may be under informed or he may be worse, I don't know. He does get some interesting bikes on occasion, but not interesting enough to tempt me (so far), and if he did, I'd likely resist the
temptation.
