It does seem kinda wierd that a guy who has a TREK 820 and a TREK 1000, "finds" three bikes while cleaning out the garage. That said, his price for those three bikes is quite low. My guess is he's finding these at garage sales for peanuts and is selling them as is for a quick buck. I doubt he's doing anything dishonest, like stealing them because it would not be very smart to post pics on Craigslist. BTW, if those bikes were in Raleigh, NC at that price they would be long gone.
