Peds? Doesn't a Pro in the hands of the inexperienced constitute yelling "EMERGENCY!"?

Rubbish. I've had far more suspicious trots bringing bikes home - including one time I was riding with a friend, and found two bikes (one of them being a tandem) thrown out. Can you imagine two cyclists walking down the street, with a bike on either side of them, one being this terrible home-made Columbia tandem?
If you need an excuse, for whatever reason, just say you bought it from the local bike shop. You had only intended to bring the Paramount in to show off, but noted the Pro and bought it right there, and decided to tag it home with you.

And if you find him, and he doesn't sell, bring a front fork to knock him out cold with
