Not sure if any of you caught this but a few weeks back I saw a brand new Cervelo S3 rainbow frame selling on craigslist for $1,000. I thought it was too good to be true and dismissed it as a replica china frame.

I was browsing CL again yesterday and came across the frame again, but this time the frame was built.

And then on the search results was another post warning users of the Chinvelo

I guess my question is, how could the other person tell the frame was bought from China? Were there any obvious giveaways from the OP's photos?
