Stolen bike in Columbus/Deleware, OH recently?
Here's the Craigslist add:
56cm 2005 trek pilot 5.0 frame only - less than 200miles-full carbon frame and fork - like new - internal head set included 400.00
https://columbus.craigslist.org/bik/285833004.html If it's clean I might buy it but it seemed a bit cheap to me. Also, why would you strip a frame after 200 miles (and leave the headset/downtube adaptors?)?
I haven't flagged this yet so that people here can look at the ad. Should I e-mail the seller and ask for the serial # on the BB?

Not that unusual to move components from frame to frame. Multitude of reasons it could be for sale. Bought the wrong size frame or bought the bike for the components. Search ebay and see if the same frame is listed by someone else and you'll know it is a scam. Even if it is legit, the 200 mile thing is bogus unless the seller can show an LBS recipt from last month.
