You are right, it is a good point and I should probably think that. I am probably a little too jaded. I bought the bike from ebay and the pictures were taken in a way to obscure issues (squashed seat stays) and this was not detailed in the description. so I'm suspecting that the seller wanted to hide these and get rid of the frame. He certainly seemed to know about the important components.
I'm not complaining about it, although I probably paid more than I would have if I had known about the seat stays. But the superbe is rare and if I'm honest I was just glad to be able to get hold of one. I just don't have any faith in the seller.
