Repaired Orbea?

This one raises more questions than it answers.


Presumably it was repaired prior to being repainted as such, but the listing does not mention this or clarify what was repaired.

IF you can get beyond that, and I would be inclined to trust any carbon work done here to be honest, then is it really a 27mm seatpost?  Surely that can't be right.

I also noticed the response to a question which states it would make a 'great road or cyclocross build'.  How would you build this for cyclocross?

In the end I think it makes predator look bad that this is out there and likely selling on eBay for so little.  I know they have nothing to do with this sale, but anytime a frame with a logo on it this large sells it is in some small way a referendum of public trust in the repair company.  Certainly if you look more into this listing you see "why" it's running at only $70 with about a day left on eBay.  It's too bad.
