It's funny that you all are talking about stolen bikes. Last week I saw a Co-Motion bike on Craigslist. I was very suspicious because of the great price and very good condition of the bike. First I checked the stolen bike registry, check ok. Then I went to Co-Motion website to see if they had an owner registration link but they didn't; however, I learned that the last two numbers of their serial number = year of manufacture. I then arranged to see the bike with a friend. My plan was to copy down the serial # and call Co-Motion to check on ownership while my friend called the police station. The seller was a super nice guy who said he was moving, he had the manual for the bike and a bunch of accessories. I looked at the serial # and saw the year matched the manual he had. Things were definitely looking good, but I still felt like I should check to make sure. We started making our phone calls and the seller definitely got offended. He said, "I have the receipts if you want to see them. I did not steal the bike." He brought me the receipts from a LBS with his name on them. I gave him the cash and got a new bike. I may have offended him a little, but I am not about to ride around on someone's stolen bicycle. See, sometimes Craigslist is a good thing. New to me Co-Motion Nor'Wester Tour! Have fun on your new Trek!
