not retro but seems good value?

Don't like the look of that, seems a bit odd for a S-works
Can't see the strut for the disc tab and the headtube looks all wrong, mine is a 2003 and it was the first of the the bracing strut ones.
If it says its any newer than that i would be very dubious, the decals look like the M5 and it doesn't have the curved downtube.
My apologies if i'm wrong, but not entirely convinced

Don't think that's even a specialized, let alone an S-Works.
I'm a specialized dealer and that looks more like a tarted up car accessory shop brand than any specialized I've seen.

Just had another look and it says 7005 T6 frame, it should be either M2,M4 or M5 and they don't come in a 16.5in frame.
Definitely not right, there were some dodgy chinese copies doing the rounds a couple of years ago and this could be one
Feedback isn't encouraging either

Even so, it's still good value - £300 for a set of Fox forks, Mono M4 brakes, LX groupset....
However (and it's a VERY BIG however)
I bought a Kona Caldera off this very ebay seller just over 12 months ago, and about two weeks after it arrived I had the Police at my door telling me it was stolen. Bike went, Paypal wouldn't pay me the money back (I had received the bike therefore there was nothing they could do :shock: ), seller ignored my emails, I was down two hundred quid, the case was going to go to court but I heard nothing more.
It is possible the buyer was innocent ... but I personally wouldn't risk it.
