    I'm not sure if your answer is serious or just sarcasm.

    Pretty sure it was serious.

    All they usual caveats applying, if it's genuine, in good condition and it fits then yes, it is a good deal. A very good deal. Looks like it's got an integrated seat post so check its big enough.

    Alright, thank you guys.

    The guy said the bike was for the team Verdana Rideau, does that mean anything?

    It means that it is a pure racing bike with low stack, that's not for everyone.
    Besides that it looks a good deal.

    AFAIK, Cyfacs are designed so that the seatmast can be cut and the frame can then be run with a normal seatpin. Worth checking with Cyfac.
