I don't know... He might be well intentioned but he does sell bikes. Buying stolen bikes only encourages more thefts. If I saw a stolen bike I'd call the police. But I guess the police wouldn't come in a split second and engage a pursuit...
so... anybody has scrap MKS pedals? I need to replace the lock nut on one of mine (GR-9) and it's an oddball size.
Just to play devils advocate....if someone looks respectable and wants a fair price ie: not a $1000 bike for $40....how do you know it is stolen? for the amount of stuiff that goes thru there I think 1 bike in 100 is not unreasonable. He isn't Igor and doesn't buy off shady folk. If you buy and sell used, no matter how dilligent you are, it is inevitable you will end up with something that is hot.
