...a sort of related question here...but...with all the talk of stolen bikes, where do they all end up?

I would assume that many get sold in the local trading post or whatever is around in the area, so if you are shopping how can you tell a stolen bike from a legitimate bike?

With all these bikes getting stolen it seems like there must be some sort of black market for this sort of thing.

well, i can tell you from experience in my area, that about 95% of stolen bikes, end up on the lower eastside within ten minutes of the theft, are traded for a hit of crack, or sold to a pawnshop for about 10 bucks. The other 5% are bikes that are professionally stolen, ussually by uys ina van or cubevan. Those bikes , often high end , are sold in other provinces or stripped down and rebuilt to look like a diffeent bike.

WRONG drug addiction is a disease A disease is defined by having these three characteristics, an onset, gets progressively worse and ends with premature death.
