How could the girl who says it's her frame prove it was theirs? I had my mountain bike stolen when I was a student, a shitty supermarket one, and at some point the forks had to be replaced for standard chrome ones. Because of that "specificity", during the following year it was stolen, I would constantly be almost sure I had seen it here and there, but a close look would show it wasn't... (I had some bottle cages inserts installed in the downtube by my LBS, another specificity). Same thing when my ex girlfriend's old Raleigh got stolen, I would swear I'd seen it many times until I realise it was a frequent model...
I'm not saying she is not honnest, but just wondering how could she be 100/100 sure it was her frame. If your gut feeling was that the seller was legit in the first place...?
Good luck anyway in sorting this out...
