EBay auction #7185664186

I was reading the auction description and was struck by the claim, "This stunning cycle can easily win Best of Show at any seriously judged event. From the BellaBici collection of Ken Denny."

Just for fun I decided to look at the photos of the Cinelli as if I was judging the bike for the Velo Rendezvous show coming up in two weeks.

Looked very nice until I saw this photo: http://images.prosperpoint.com/images/68/4422-918.jpg

Burst out laughing! Anyone else spot the amateur mistake in this photo?
