very cool, shimano neutral service bike (as stated). shimano would have these available to help riders at races when they had a flat/mechanical. The latest have been Canyon aeroads but this looks like a Canyon ultimate underneath.
Afaik the current Shimano neutral service bikes use a Canyon Ultimate 2021 frame

This is a joke and a reference to the bike Tadej Pogacar used for a moment in Pari-Roubaix. The normal neutral servece bikes dont have rhe rainbow bands.
Edit: Also look at the not so good ai generated logo on the chainstay.

As others have said, its supposed to be a Shimano neutral service bike. But there are a few things that make me wonder what’s really going…
-Most of the ones that I recall seeing are older generation Ultimates that still have external cabling (look at the bike Tadej was on, for example).
-Shimano Neutral Service always have black bar tape
-I’ve never seen one with the rainbow stripes
-Shimano Neutral bikes have a dropper seatpost (so they can fit a variety of riders)
-I recall them having shallower wheels, but could be wrong about that.
-The “non-series” crankset is a little bit of a red flag…..I would have no problem with a 105 or Ultegra crankset, but “non-series” makes no sense.
-Dura-Ace latest generation without a crankset is worth close to $2000 by itself.
I’d be a little wary and want to know more before I bought it. If the person has some verifiable connection to Shimano (former mechanic, worked neutral service, etc….) I’d be more comfortable. But I would want to know if they received it as a complete bike or just a frameset and built it up. If you start asking questions and they go silent or get offended, you have your answer.
Ha! This is cool. Yeah, it’s a great deal. It’s an older Canyon Ultimate with current Dura-Ace Di2.
>(Will not come with the Dura ace crank, will only come with the crank in the first image)
I’m not sure what this is about, but based on the year of the bike (early 2020’s), this bike would have been put together right as Shimano was in the brunt of that crank recall. So, a lot of pro-teams, and assuming this service bike too, were using a different Shimano crank (not the Dura-Ace 9200), because for a long time that crank was impossible to get. So, they used something else. Though, I’m not sure what.
The crank in the first image is a 9100 crank, the 11sp Dura-Ace. Which, many of those were not effected by the big crank recall. I’m guessing what happened was this 9200 bike came to this seller with 9100 cranks, which he then swapped out for 9200 cranks when they became available. So, he’s hanging onto the 9200, and selling with the original 9100 cranks.
Either way though, a full carbon bike, carbon wheels, carbon cockpit, with 12 speed Dura-Ace Di2 at $2000 is a ripping deal.

For that price I’d be tempted if I was local.
