I'd bet a small fortune its an ad thats been copied from somewhere else, and the 'seller' has never even seen a 9.9.

Hmmm... Towhoward's scenario seems to tally, or he missed a 0 off the price (in which case it's rather optimistic), because what he says is spot on - it is a 2010 frame with 2009 bits, your average scally's not gonna know that.

i would assume that's not even a picture of the actual bike in question.

It matches the description perfectly though, which is my point - advert and photo go together, it's too coherent for your average drug-addled chancer - whoever wrote the description knows about bikes, and specifically that one. Ergo it seems likely he's taken the description from elsewhere, someone will pay for the bike and never see it.

i totally agree, meaning both photo and description are taken from elsewhere.
