Dodgy advert or a bargain?

[DCLane]

I've seen this on Gumtree locally: http://gumtree.co.uk/p/for-sale/gen...ish-cycling-bike/92257797#gallery-item-full-1

Advert states: "PINARELLO FCX 1 2011 MTB" - "BOUGHT FROM AUTHORISED INTERNATIONAL BIKE DEALER RETAILER FOR £3000

ONLY A FEW DAYS OLD BEEN USED THREE TIMES A FEW MARKS BUT NOTHING NOTICEABLE SELLING AS BRAD NEW AS ITS IN MINT CONDITION THIS IS A VERY LIGHTWEIGHT STRONG BIKE THAT WOULD BE GREAT FOR ANYONE, HAS ALUMINIUM 6061 T6 FRAME THAT IS 15" WITH HIGH QUALITY SHIMANO PARTS "

Is it a bargain or is something odd; it's got Sora groupset and Alex 19 rims. Also, I thought it had a carbon frame not aluminium?

About as dodgy as a week old pork pie that's been left in the sun.

So then, what frame is it really? Geek kudos for the winner -

Cantilever brakes!

Maybe that's why the seller thinks it's a MTB.

I hope you are all clicking the little 'report' icon in the top right of the ad's page. Disappointing an advert like that is allowed to stay up.
