It reminds me of an incident from quite a number of years ago:
A number of kind of goofy old bikes were for sale at very high prices. They were mostly middleweights with modern accessories, wrong parts, etc. - really tarted up garage sale type bikes. They were advertised as being out of the "William H. Stein Collection" (at least that is the name as best as I can recall). It turns out the bikes were bought at a yard sale held by some regular guy named "Bill Stein". They were just some ratty old middleweights that had been gathering dust in his garage. Someone bought the yard sale bikes and tarted them up, then claimed they originated in some kind high-end collection by changing the yard sale guy's name a bit and turning the yard sale origin into some kind of "collection". People do crazy stuff sometimes...
