I just checked on the auction and it looks like the seller has updated it with some photos. The bike is far from a holy grail.

Also, for those who might be interested in the soon-to-end "De Rosa" track bike, I haven't been able to get verification from the seller on whether the frame itself has any De Rosa stampings so use some caution as it might be a case of De Rosa decals on some other frame.
