Ok, this seller actually does a pretty good job with photos and descriptions.
But, a few head scratchers did make it through.

The actual part does have a pretty unique paint job.

Titanium Lemond?
That could be a sweet bike.
Of course, the seller might get better responses with better photos, and actually dropping in a couple of critical key words.

No, true collectors dream of turkey levers, steel rims, cheap 3-bolt cottered cranks, quilted vinyl saddles set as far forward as possible, handlebars turned almost to the wino position, and of course, "THUNDER BIRD" derailleurs. Yeah, this one checks all the boxes.
Now where are my red-white-blue striped wrist sweat bands?.....

Fork's .... uhm. Bent. Just a little.
If there is $390 stuffed in the saddle bag, that bike is definitely worth the asking price.
