    I'd hope he'd realise he can't sell it, or ride it, and hand it back, and not dump it.

    Truth be told it's more than likely striped now if he knew what he was doing .

    Looks like he did a stock check first look ,then did his deed.

    Eastern Europe market ??????

    I feel for Peter who owns n runs this superb business , a bloke who works hard and gives first class service.
    Provides local employment .

    2nd this. Met Peter a couple of times in the shop. Can't be easy making a high end bike shop work where he's based but he does it.
    Seems like a decent hard working chap. Hope there is some good news out of this for him.

    I'm feel for the shop owner.

    But it looks like there was no security on that bike? Not even a lock.

    There is an epidemic of bike crime at the moment. We have a secure monitored underground car park with bike cage and multiple locks. Mostly cheap bikes. They still get into it and have stolen bikes worth peanuts.

    Regardless of what they are worth they are doing it because the chance of getting caught or punished is extremely low.

    If people didn't buy bikes, parts or tools at too good to be true prices there would be no market for these scumbags to sell their ill gained products.
