This look dodgy to anyone else?
Seller seems confused about whether it's either a Specialized or a Rocky Mountain - in fact he seems to think it's both!
Surely if you had a 1-ride old bike you'd remember the make & model, no?
Certainly an idiot and it does look very dodgy
Could be worth asking them for the frame number and contacting the local police?
I love the fact he thinks it has 180mm travel at the front despite the spec saying its 160mm!
I never knew specialized made rocky mountain bikes. oh yea, that's right, they don't! or do they?
Seen the in depth description of the car he's selling? I'd buy it for sure....
At least he hasn't had any negative feedback 🙄
Clearly he is ill informed.
stolen from mountain mania?
yes indeed "dodgy" reckon its nicked, send a message asking where it was aquired ? receipts........more than likely ad will disapear !
Has only been rode ONCE, but now upgrading to the new model which suits me better.
😆
definitely dodgey.
stolen with Clipless pedals no doubt.
thats got to be the one surely? looks like a typical chav car he has for sale, council house all the usual scum traits 😉
i cant get to a phone today but somebody should ring those guys in the link, isnt luton in hertfordshire too?
too much of a coincendence!
edit : just rang them quickly to let them know and somebodys already reported it to the shop 8) good work
Good call OW,I'll give them a bell
Edit -you beat me to it! Good work agent Wildly.
Hey all,
Thank you to the 3 people that have rung us this morning and to the person that emailed us last night alerting us of this bike.
It certainly seems suspicious.
I've forwarded the details to the Police so the matter now rests with them.
I know it's tempting to send this 'character' messages trying to find out more information but i'm worried if too many people contact him he'll realise something is up so if you could refrain from doing so that would be great.
Thanks again for all the support. It's certainly nice to have people go out of their way to do good for someone they have never met, so again thank you.

Dave, hope you get the bike back if it turns out to be yours.
Keep us posted.
I saw this add too and it did get me scratching my head a bit, spend that sort of money on a bike and then stick Halfords own brand pedals on....?
Dodge
He's offering collection in person, so I'd put a massive bid on it.
I'd also recommend contacting the mods and asking them to delete this thread in case he spots it and goes to ground.
Does the ridden once, include the ride out of the shop with the police chasing?
really scary the number of pinched bikes about ,local junk shop constantly has quality bikes on e bay and often breaking/split for parts.recently saw a premium us made frame and parts for sale quite local to me and took a look at his feed back .hundreds of upper end bike parts and various bikes sold in last 18 months ,makes me wonder why the police seem not to be bothered.
WHICH IS A EX DISPLAY STAND BIKE!
Which is where he snatched it from...
Must dig out my copy of 'the joy of trail biking' !
