| 17. I'm more troubled by the lack of pictures. |

A seller can afford a bike like that but can't upload pictures? I wouldn't buy that without checking receipts. They busted a guy here in Austin who was befriending cyclists, stealing their high dollar bikes, and selling them as components on CL in other towns. I saw a separate case where someone from Ohio spotted their missing bike for sale in Austin. Thiefs steal bikes from all over, then truck them en masse to a different town to sell them.
Don't visit this seller alone, and demand receipts.

A Bianchi with Dura-Ace components for that price is a good deal |

Aside from the 'used' aspect, he's essentially throwing in a free frame when you buy those parts |

Actually, a new Dura-Ace crank will set you back closer to $700... |

Yeah, but a full set of 7800 comps is around $1500, give or take. |

Unless you're competitive, it doesn't make a lot of sense. |
