he's got about 800 feedback so don't think he's a total chancer but you never know.
Insurance write off or possibly stolen I'd imagine. But then I don't know what other stuff he's been selling. Those aren't the original cranks that came with that frame, so at some point someone would have known what they were doing with that bike, but someone who fits old SLs isn't the kind of person who loses headsets.

Seems to be mostly car/mtb stuff-difficult to say really, but positive feedback so I'm hesitant to say it's not legit or that it's fucked till I get it in my hands and have a gander.
Lots of folk buy CAADs as frame only and retrofit groups/componenents and my old alu Colnago CX frame with similar reinforced downtube has been through the wars and is totally fine-the steel mech hanger however cracked and left the stay totally undamaged so I don't think there's quite the same risk as there is with carbon. It'll either be warped and cracked or it won't?

Dunno man, not the most comprehensive pics but looks clean enough? That's a mighty fillet where the headtube meets the downtube too and I've seen forks crack from someone falling over at the lights when they've not clipped out. Headset was lost when he stripped the bike apparently, he's got about 800 feedback so don't think he's a total chancer but you never know. Nothing ventured nothing gained anyway-I got the frame and cranks for a bargainous £225 and firing it back for a refund will be easy if it's fucked.
And I hear you with the blog-best intentions and all that but I'm trying to find work atm and it's sucking the life out of me :(
