You read my mind. I'm going to go see the bike tomorrow and size up the guy.

I've thought through the ethical issues a bit. How can I possibly know whether it is or isn't stolen for any used bike, unless I know the person. I mean, anything on ebay could be stolen and resold and you'd never know.

It's not like he's asking $200 -- he seems to have some concept of how much the bike cost new. Also, he lives deep in the suburbs, and I have a hard time seeing a bike theif living next to Ward and June Cleaver.

Here's the ad..

""I have two of these bikes and they are absoutely fabulous (only one is for sale as there is no way I could part with both of them). The bike for sale is in pristine condition (has always been kept indoors and has barely been ridden), has a 54cm frame, Bontranger tires, lollipops and Shimano hardware. Drop me a line if you want to check the bike out. ""


BTW -- what are lollipops???
