Doesn't look that bad a listing, plenty of obscure detail - why doesn't the photo match? looks like a mamasita from what I can see

I didn't think it looks bad until kilos post when I checked the spec against the small picture and...

1. That's not a white stem. Looks more like a Thomson.
2. Rims look more like stans
3. Tyres look like Geax not Schwalbe
4. Seat looks more like a WTB than a Fizik
5. Seatpost looks like a Thomson

It is quite possible that thats an old pic and the seller has taken off the nice bits and put cheaper bits on to sell but doesnt have a photo. Hence only having on picture and being small.

Drag the pic into google images and it brings up an MTBR thread.

Not clear if the owner on ebay is the same as MTBR, or perhaps it was sold on. Hmmmmm..

I found a kona operator in Ealing on gumtree using pics from a USA ebay auction , the american license plate in the background gave it away(that and the price and the fact it was on gumtree), fair play gumtree removed it as soon as i told them
