I don't know..Sounds to good to be true...Kinda like that doctor offereing the other forum member the screaming deal when he saw he rides bikes.

1) He took you to his storage shed...If you have any questions, report it to the police as suspicious..you are off the hook-He would be stupid to take you there if he had stolen goods.
2) I have some wheels that I am trying to get rid of, if I saw someone on here asking about them, on CL, or even just riding around on a bike that they would go on, I might ask if they were interested.... It sounds like this guy was even more desperate than I am..

ok.. im missing something here.. they are deep vs with iro hubs used for 100 bucks.. yes a deal..but personally i wouldnt pay that for them on ebay...hardly the screaming deal..ill just take my naivete on downn the road i guess

Still a $260 wheelset.

ha! i know what you meant, but that was very funny to me.

And they're really not used.

I don't know, Florida seems to be full of people with outrageous bike deals. Maybe the sun gets to them.

Bottom line is, stolen or not, nothing you need to do about it.

I feel OK about it. Better they're with me, someone who a. will be happy to give them back if the owner surfaces, and b. will ride the **** out of them and love them.

Edit: I edited the previous version of this post. Just so's ya know.

so anyway, what else did he have for sale?

3 1960s Cinelli Supercorsas, chicagoamdream's Samson, and 1 Porsche GT2. Which he got from his friend who works at a Porsche dealership in Florida.

That, or the raging drug habits, and accessibility to said drugs...:eek:

If he also had my copy of The Better of McSweeney's, Vol. 1, then this guy is, in fact, my roommate's ex-girlfriend, and is not to be trusted.

stolen
enjoy the karma

woa.. lighten up on the drama and leave the dude alone.. hees thhe only one that was there.. and if he sensed it was legit.. theres a good chance it was

im sorta on the fence about this. i mean the first bike i got when i moved to bay area was had for 60 bucks but the sum of its parts came out to be somewhere around 4 or 5 hundred easily. then again that was through craigslist.

I think it's great that so many people think their opinions on this actually matter.

hey man....thats what msg boards are for.....

enjoy the wheels dude. if they were stolen, the victim got a life lesson equal to their value i'm sure. :D
one time i paid $18 to find out that you shouldn't walk through a heavily wooded park in the hood at midnight.

I should probably throw them away. You know, for my karma.

No, you should probably throw them my way, for said reasons...:beer:

Ironic to the maximum.

That's reeeeeeeeeaaaaaalyyyyyyy hard to pronounce.
