Very strange. Abandoned on an interstate?

I think there is more to this story

I agree. How did they identify it as Landis' bike, through the custom pedals??

I call bull-pucky.

Yeah......sounds like a Kentucky tale to me! Nothing is stated in the article about how they found out it was his bike or confirmed it. Who would want it anyway

If it's true, the guy needs to take up mountain biking and hang on to it. He'll never get that kind of $$$$ for it.

"Abandoned on the interstate" was the seller's story, not the buyer's, and they don't identify the seller.

I'm not saying I think it's for real, only that there's nothing in the story that says to me that the bike wasn't actually stolen - whether it was from Landis or from a neighbor's back yard. Disc brakes alone would make it worth more than $5, and they're also something that would be recognizable to your average non-cycling yokel, since they look just like motorcycle or car brakes. Can't see the rest of the components in the picture...
