Suspicious Bottechia on fleabay

[onespeedbiker]

I have been looking for Campy Victory parts and came across this Campagnolo Victory Seatpost w/ Selle Italia Turbo Saddle | eBay, which I planned to bid on. I then checked out if the seller had any other auctions and found this Bottecchia Campione Del Mondo Columbus Aelle Tubing Campagnolo Parts | eBay, which suspiciously has the same looking seatpost and saddle.

I am also suspicious of the descriptors, the virst being a 1966 frame with a Campy Victory gruppo. I checked photos of other Bottecchia's of that era and found none had three cable guides brazed across the top of the top tube and most had pump pegs. Further I found these frame stickers Early Bottecchia decal set complete for Campagnolo | eBay, which leads be to believe it may not be a Bottechia at all, or at least a repaint and sticker job. What thinks you?

Looks like he was busted, auction has been ended. 0 feedback means I would stay away from a large purchase.

I actually sent a message to the seller and asked him about that. No response, but as davcruz pointed out the bicycle has been pulled. Since any purchase is guaranteed by paypal, I may still bid..
