Found Eddy Merckx TT bike

[shawnvan]

Yip, but could have put on different wheels when stolen or trying a scam...

[Reg Lizard]

Would luv to know whether it was reported stolen

[Eugene]

Your average bike thief wouldn't have had the tools to remove some of the parts. Your average bike theif would never have stolen a bike like that just to get a few groupset parts.

 

There is definately more to this story.

Something def seems fishy, but surely If it were an insurance scam you can think of a better place to off load the frame

[gummibear]

Any idea what bar and stem are on this bike?

People don't think logically when they are desperate.

[Pure Savage]

Its not the same size or same aero bars as the bike in the advert. But there can not be many of these bikes floating around!

 

 

Can never imagine myself doing this.

 

If the person who did this is reading this, if you have a carbon road bike, 56cm, non ISP, preferably in black that you would like to throw in the tip, I will take it to the tip for you

[braailegend]

Maybe bike fell of bike rack, while in transport, not build up yet.

Ja, like just ride around normally in Cape Town and someone will off load it for you.

Maybe the owner was rebuilding at the time of it being stolen ?

[Prozac]

will keep my eye on this tread . . . might get interesting . . .

[Gandalf]

Maybe the bike was like that when it was stolen and the thief was going to come back and collect it later.

[Falco]

Or,

 

The guy was building up the bike bit by bit, wife decided he was spending too much time and money on it, so she dumped it and told him it had been stolen.

[YUMEYA]

damn!! OP should buy me a lotto ticket.

[jugheaddave]

I smell a rat!!

Found a stripped full carbon Eddy Merckx time trial bike in the bush along the Avianto mountain bike route this morning. Sadly has been stripped of all but tri bars and wheels. Avianto management was sending someone out to pick it up and hold it at Avianto, so contact them if its yours.

 

It seems like you are getting into TimeTrialing! good luck!
