TheJ Posted June 16, 2014 Share Stolen bike, that's been partially stripped for parts. The pics are clearly taken in a township somewhere. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/140432-suspicious-bike-add/#findComment-2334271 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vetseun Posted June 17, 2014 Share Looks suspicious for sure.Advertisment also very vague. But..... The bike is on a bike stand. In the township they use a brick for that.50/50 call for me. beanz 1 Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/140432-suspicious-bike-add/#findComment-2334309 Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOFX Posted June 17, 2014 Share Yup. Looks like it's stripped and is now being sold. Lindiwe won't sell it though because nobody wants a 26er anymore. She will have to ride it to work herself Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/140432-suspicious-bike-add/#findComment-2334318 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andre_vdm Posted June 17, 2014 Share Strange...it is almost more complete in some of the others pics. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/140432-suspicious-bike-add/#findComment-2334362 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skinnyone Posted June 17, 2014 Share Look at the tool box in the one pic - there is a BB tool in there, so clearly this is one way of the bike jackers to dispose of their "earnings". This is something I have said all along with the bike jackings - they lie low, the bike gets stripped, parts probably sold right here on the hub then a year or two later the frame pops up for sale somewhere. if this frame popped up for sale on the hub with slightly more "kosher" pictures chances are it would have been sold no questions asked...

Pure Savage Posted June 17, 2014 Share I reckon there are so many replaced stolen parts on that bike. One pic the Crank is missing, another pic the crank is back but the tyres are missing. Good place for SAPS to bust, must be more there. Link to comment https://forum.bikehub.co.za/topic/140432-suspicious-bike-add/#findComment-2334404 Share on other sites More sharing options...

porqui Posted June 17, 2014 Share Also phoned and got a whole breakdown - Bike will be complete - all parts are present. If I send my e-mail the boyfriend will mail me photos of a roadbike that they have as well. Maybe more hubbers should show their interest.
