That is ridiculously cheap. Almost too cheap.

Thought you had sworn off the Ghisallos, Voodo

I don't think he's measuring correctly. From the 2006 catalog, a size small Ghisallo was a 52.5cm ETT. I think he's stating the seat tube length, which would equate to a M/L. The headtube junction looks too tall for a 48cm TT.
I sent him a message to get the ETT. M/L is too big for me otherwise I'd buy it in a heartbeat.
Voodoo, how do you know it's a 2008? He's saying 2012 which is obviously wrong.

that's newer than 2008. the downtube is not a complete round tube...it flattens out by the BB. most of the complaints were because of the flexing...and i think this was their last attempt to stiffen up the bottom bracket before this model was discontinued. also, my Ghisallo has the yellow Litespeed stickers on the downtube...they changed it to the outline version after 2008.
and RyanH is correct on the measurement. my small is a 52.5 top tube....and the top tube and the downtime practically touch and come together by the head tube. its a M at the very least and possibly a M/L like RyanH says.

I think it's a 2008 because or were the rear brake cable guide are running on the underside of the top tube which started in 2008. It was a total guess but I know it's not a 2012.
Here is my old 2007 size Medium with the cable on the top of the top tube. I though 2008 was the last year unless they where custom ordered.

If they didn't change the decals and fork, that is a 2010. Last year they made the Ghisallo I believe. Looked at the 2012 catalog and it definitely isn't in there.

Do it. Pretty sure it's a M/L, but I'll post once the buyer gets back to me.

The add is sketchy at best. Poor measurements, little info and incorrect info on top of that. Those are red flags to me on ebay. Low feedback total and one of the eight total left is negative. Buy at your own risk. Make sure PayPal will give buyers protection for over seas purchases too.

+1. Quite common here too, that size of bike is seat tube length. Frame is a real stunner.
