Item #3642013607 is a beautiful Rivendell with only 250 claimed miles on it. Starting bid with no takers yet is $1500. It seems like a nice buy and I love the look of the bike. However myself and several other list members have noted that the bike is claimed to be a 58cm size. Looking at it, it seems much smaller, more my size. Upon questioning the seller, he sent some measurements entirely consistent with a bike of the claimed size. His choice of English words were strangely like those Nigerian scam letters we all seem to be getting. I go back and look again, he has decent feedback, but the bike just does not look that big to me or anyone else who has seen it. Am I being too paranoid here? Anyone know this seller?
