ah, youre right - thats what i get for not seeing the additional pages of posts (the big pics put the right side of the site off my screen, and thus the links to previous pages...)

but yeah - after a quick run through the vaults, the bike pictured there is obviously not the same one as the one nicked from american, even if one were questioning the 11/011 bit - bigger frame, different color, no chrome lugs...
