£1000? At 20% of the new value, that sounds a lot like the way my (stolen) S-Works SL3 was advertised - the thieves didn't know what they had, so just googled and copied information (including a geometry chart) off the net. The police target ads like that as likely stolen bikes. Might be worth passing on the details so they can check it against their list...

I didn't want to seem negative or anything but ^ this ^ is what I should have said on reflection!

I don't think so, If it was stolen then unless the thief was a cyclist, why would they bother to include a geometry chart in the pictures?

It is rather cheap, considering the dura ace model is around £4500. But if it was a gift, then the seller is not losing anything  3
