why so negative ?

Uhm... Why was this thread even started? It's not Friday, there's not an AD link, and, what can we do other than make some useless comments about "ya, he"s a skelm ne'! going to somme ride into him if I see him"?

Hey

 

So I know there has been abit of bashing of tony for just putting the picture up with the topic heading suggesting theft. But having looked at the add I would seriously consider this a flag for a dodgy add. 

 

1) Its posted by a Lyle who from what I can see only has had 1 advert, its the first thing I look at when buying online. (I am not a OLX guru so that might be one active) 

2) If it is a sale of the whole bike then the of the add at Rockshock is very odd. 

3) Pricing is way out at R10 000 which is very odd. 

4) And probably least red "flagish"  is that photo. But most people keep thier bikes in a storeroom of sorts, (I have no idea why, I like to keep mine in the living room so I can look at them). 

 

My question is when all these flags are raised, in a town hundreds of kms away how do we get someone to investigate it further? If it is legitimate then good luck with the sale to Lyle. 

But as the cycling community we really should care, if there is a EASY market for stolen second hand bikes the risks of riding them will be even higher. 

 

James.
