Have you seen this bike?

I just noted this post at the Seattle Triathlon site. Might be worth checking out.

I must say, he sounds like he is a cyclist. Perhaps he's truly is selling this frame and keeping the parts for a future S/S coupling bike...but still worth checking out, for sure.

some bike thieves are bicyclists. Did you all read about the podiatrist who was stealing high end bikes and selling them to other bicyclists? (He commited suicide) This happened here in Washington this week.

Of course the seller might be legit. Doesn't hurt to check it out.

Just a random thought --
I have a renter's insurance policy. I was required to inventory/document jewelry, computers, electronics, etc ., and I included my bikes on the list. This way if my bike were ever stolen from my apartment (or damaged by fire, flooding, etc), I would at least get something. The deductible is not that high (I want to say $500?) so it actually would help with a new bike, and the premiums are quite low -- I think it's something like $80 a year.

Worth looking into your rental/homeowners policy (or look into getting one if you don't have one), to see if your bike might be covered, or at least if you can get your next bike covered...

Thanks everyone who has been so supportive and had so many great ideas!

One of the problems I've run into is not having my serial # written down. Well, after a bit of sleuthing, calling the original owners of my bike to get more history, the guys at R+E managed to find it in their files! They had to go back 9 years to before they had their client files computerized! How's that for service?
