I'd want to check it over first.
All my bad ebay experiences are low feedback or under 99%.
"Bike*" just doesn't ring right.
List a fancy item with a million reserve (undisclosed), stir up some interest, make contact, offer the item a little above the top bid, arrange a blinding deal, ask for bank transfer...

Certainly checking for crash damage is a plan (I have an ex-TdF Panasonic on my wall waiting for a re-straighten ….)

Lance's bike?
It's a bit like a piece of the true holy cross.
Slightly more abundant than you might expect.

There's enough pieces of the true cross around to rebuild Noah's ark.
