    Note that they don't show up in any searches of the Helena phone book.

    Note that the "employees" in the pictures all have different logos on their work shirts.

    Note that the Square Trade seal is fake: the link on the lower graphic is fake.

    Note that if you click on the "Cannondale" page, they apparently stock every single bicycle Cannondale makes. Impressive stock for a small town! Not to mention that Cannondale does not allow their dealers to sell online or ship bicycles, and anyone who tries gets shut down in short order.

    Scam, scam, scam, scam, scam.

    Dead giveaway...there are no black people in MT. 2 in one shop in Helena, the odds of that are preposterous

    It's obvious now, but this is a classic ebay scam. Post the bike for cheap, get some guys hooked, then pull the auction and deal with the guys out of ebay's protection.

    The escrow service they're dying for you to use is just a buddy in the next room.

    You send your money to "escrow" thinking you're being all safe-- you're not under ebay's buyer protection anymore!-- and you never see your cash again.
    It's idomatic, beatch.
