this is what makes subcultures so cool. :)

Cool, I'd like to hear the details behind this listing!

So would I.

You're the best, Marcus!

this is bad ass

Yeah, he's cool but makes my girlfriend nervous..hah.

yeah, that's pretty much awesome

i wonder how he "found" it? pretty cool.

nothing less would come from the depths of that man.

Marcus=win

In the top 5 greatest people of all times list...

I have a great image of some spindly thief walking in with the bike trying to sell it and the bike being recognized, store owner not so spindly. Pure conjecture.

thats what i was thinking, i hope it gets back to its owner.

Yes.

I always get nervous talking to Marcus for some reason, I feel like a big dork? weird.

If the bike shop owner was able to recognize the bike and remember the owner, it seems to me that the owner frequents the shop. He'll be back at the shop in a couple months (after he's saved up enough money to replace his stolen bike) to buy a new one. Needless to say, it'll be a good day for him.

Great story, but the ad mentions "special" wheels. I'm thinking Marcus recognized the wheels more than he did the bike. Regardless, great story, I'm sure.

The bike stands out like a sore thumb. There is currently only one other guy with the wheelset (not just the front) and he rides a Javelin Vigorelli. The thief probably couldnt move it to anyone but bike nerds and he knew he would get caught if he asked one of us if we wanted it.

Spinergy FTW

Wait, this was the spinergy rig that got jacked like a week ago? awesome...
