nich the d Posted December 1, 2016 Share I saw a Giant xtc Aluxx SL 26er size Large for sale in Wynberg yesterday. It's a white frame with red accents (2012?) - couldn't get a serial number. Blue Chris Willemse sticker on the chain stay; one white and red Giant bottle holder, one black holder. Back tyre is well worn. Why am I suspicious? 1. It still has trail dirt on it - even if I was selling to a pawn shop I'd wash my bike. 2. There is an inner tube taped to the seat post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fisan Posted December 1, 2016 Share Bike comes with a free tube? Sounds like a bargain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kalahari Vegmot Posted December 1, 2016 Share It's quite common to see a tube taped to the seatpost; if I was suspicious of every bike with a tube taped to the seatpost I'd have reported a few hubbers already... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GaryvdM Posted December 1, 2016 Share Reasons stated are not really reasons to be suspicious. Here are some better reasons to be suspicious: Bike been sold for much less than it's market value.Seller can't tell you about the components on the bike (especially the case for middle to high end bikes.)Bike is listed in stolen bike database.

Must be a Northern Cape thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperDooperSnooper Posted March 1, 2017 Share Geez people, the OP is just trying to do a good deed by highlighting a bike spotted that may be somebody's missing steed. I'm all for making it known to a large forum like this - if it is a stolen bike, hope this helps to reunite with the owner. If it is a legitimate sale - GLWS to the owner!
