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

This "carbon" bike is stated to be perfect for "Bi-athletic" events.

That's awesome. It has "straight" bars for "bi-athletic" events. Sounds multifunctional...

Wonder if the seller would let me have the "bend resistant wheels" only!

Also I wish my bike was "... ready to be mounted to any car or SUV bicycle rack" That must be some new technology.

Actually - there's a good chance it's a stolen bike. Anyone know of any place where this might've been reported stolen? Upstate New York, apparently.
The part that clues it off, among the other more obvious ones in the listing:
"also ready to be mounted on any car or SUV bicycle rack!!! In stores, standard price at the moment is $1600.00. THIS OFFER IS EXTREMELY NEGOTIABLE!!!!!"

Ready to be mounted?! Maybe that's because it just came off of a car's rack.
The seller has no idea about the bicycle at all - quite obvious from the listing. Simply stole it to flip it on ebay. A new seller, too, with 0 feedback... so.... what's the deal?

Anyway, anyone know of a resource to look into this?

they need to have a pic with Stormin' Norman standing over it, with his tri-suit on, and someone that just bought their first issue of Triathlon Magazine at Borders will bid on it...
