Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Bikes: Looking for "the One"

Hot or not - Specialized Secteur C$300

I called about this bike:

https://www.kijiji.ca/v-cruiser-commu...eur/1331828741

It's a 2015 model in XL and the guy isn't entirely sure about the particulars of it when asked. He says he paid $1100. When you buy a bike like this you know it's specifics. I asked him what the fork was made out of and he wasn't sure. He didn't know about the vibration control aspect of the fork either. One knows these things if they buy this bike new. Look at the lousy pictures. Just enough to show he has something for sale, but not enough to be able to personally I.D. it without an in-person look.

Bottom line: has anyone locally lost one of these?

This is his number and (supposedly) name: Andrij Leskiw 204 500 8917

It's set up pretty aggressively so my guess is it was owned by a "serious" cyclist and maybe NOT owned by the guy selling it.

That does not mean it was stolen, but it's possible based on what you are saying.

Bikes: Looking for "the One"

Hi, speaking with the guy one could tell that something was amiss. Especially the part of "I'll deliver it to you" and "the bike isn't at my place, it's in another part of town". When all flags are added up, I'd say it was a smoker. In any case, the ad is down now.
