These usually seem to sell for more. Basically you're getting a frame and forks set for $300 with some spare parts, but it's an impressive set anyway
Ps. When seller says "Is missing back tire", I think she means whole wheel.

It seems there were the team bikes but also a very similar looking promotion bikes handed out by Saturn dealers. These promotion bikes were of lesser quality and had for example TIG welding and a steel fork instead of a carbon fork.
The welding in the picture looks like TIG and also the position of the Reynolds and Saturn sticker is different (which could of course have changed over the years on team bikes too).
Does anyone has more information about the team bike and how to distinguish it from the promotion bike?

For some unknown reason. Lore maybe? I've always found it a bit of a head scratcher. If Sheldon Brown hadn't mentioned it I suspect it would be no more valuable than the other top tier Japanese touring bikes of the era.
