Why would you report him?

because he is not being honest

Hello! I am a proud owner of a SOMEC Olympus steel frame. Last summer I bought the frame (a 60x60 size) on a web site here in Italy for 160€ , more or less 125 GBP or 180 USD.

The frame is in a excellent condition and now she is on the road again. I love her!

The owner sold this bike, fully mounted, for 250€ here: http://www.fixedforum.it. Crazy!

I was late, but after some month I found the frame+fork on sale on another web site, and this time I have been fast enough.

I am looking more information regarding this specific model, since I don't know much of it. Do somebody know exactly the model/year?

Wow amazing frame and great work from the builder!
Only seen that brazing quality on the expensive Leader AX from F.Moser.

And cheap too.

The (more or less) original was the one with the yellow saddle. It was mounted with:
Campagnolo Athena 9v
Guarnitura 53-39
Pignoni 11-24
Pedali Shimano SPD
Piega Deda 44
Saddle SMP extra

I bought several new Shimano 105 parts (10v) from Chainreaction and now she looks like this.

Mine, probably a Cromor Gl. Mix of DA/600 groupset. Modolo brake levers, Deda Piega handlebars & Nitto stem.

Not a fan of those brake levers.
Stunning paintjob

I have asked to Somec more information regarding mine, they are very very kind.
Mine should be dated 1995. If you could provide them the serial number of yours they will tell you more (almost the year) of your bike.

A wonderful Somec with a full pantographed groupset is on sale for around £1000 on an Italian facebook group:

This is my absolute favourite bike right now. It's time for me to have a go at copying it but doing a slightly worse job.

Yours,

Here is another SOMEC on sale here in Italy:

Thanks, I'm Italian so usually browse that site as well.
Could be a low end Somec?

I have tried to find this frame into their vintage catalog, http://www.somec.com/it/azienda/cataloghi_vintage/

yeah the quality of those PDFs is horrible

Somec pro max frameset which looks in very good condition.
