Possible stolen Giant ebike

[Trashy]

Saw this on FB marketplace and thought it was suspicious.

 



Bike still has membership board attached so can possibly be tracked to someone.

I see they say: "I'm selling my Giant bike it is still new used a week everything is ok about it nothing wrong . Price is negotiable"

...but one image clearly shows the bike has done 2,852km.

Most likely scam as they could've sourced the photo from elsewhere.

I see that the same photos were on Gumtree at some stage.

I shudder at the look of that stem... that cant be real?

But don't you non Bulls supporting folks have access to the name that belongs to that number on the race board?

I definitively disagree... I have kitted myself out with top notch golf clubs solely off FB marketplace.

I have also sold and purchased Musical instruments very successfully. I have never done bikes, but during/after lockdown I sold a ton of stuff on Marketplace after having time to purge the place.

There are scammers and junk dealers, but you can most definitely still dive that proverbial dumpster successfully

Started playing in august when I was still recovering and couldn't exercise. 

I'm down to a single figure handicap and wondering whether I should sell my bikes.... 😝

It’s also a great place to sell golf kit. I’ve gotten really good money from selling my used clubs. I’ve found I get the best price on FB.

All the above and the name of the seller (quick Google search). 🙄
