Winning bid $3750, someone got a bargain. *smile* Looks like lots of work has been done, could be hard to register with no frame number though *conf*

I reckon the seller bought it. Check the feedback percentage, the buyer has 100% activity with the seller which usually means he bid on it himself. It will probably come up for sale on a different site, like "Just Bikes" or similar.

Unfortunately sellers bidding on their own items is becoming more prevalent as e-bay encourage it. Ultimately it means stuff sells for a higher price and they make more out of commission.
