Yeah I think you're right, that price is waaaaay too low for this to be a legit sale. That's a $9,000 bike!

I've responded to some of those ads and they're always out of town and want to ship you the bike. I flag the ads.

That is to funny/disturbing that someone is doing that. Glad it's not a locals bike that was stolen.
