That looks well cheap, itd be worth £1k plus on eBay, could be hot hot hot
''this is a new 2007 santa cruz i bought a year ago. Its new and been in my garage since. no rides no races zero miles.''
Yes, stolen. Look at the pedals for a start..
My thought exactly thats why i wondered if any one had had one stolen in the last few weeks.
you do have to factor in that people in london are idiot-holes.
Stolen as in straight from the shop/factory etc?
at that price , definately too good to be true. The frame alone would probably fetch nearly that on ebay.
So what does one do if you susspect its stolen then???

Kewl! time travel!
I've said it before... all these Gumtree ad's offering high-end bikes at silly prices are scams; they're not stolen bikes, they don't even exist in the first place (well, not in the 'sellers' possession anyway), it's just a set of photo's they've picked up off the web and used as 'their bike'...
Try it out... reply to the ad and see how your correspondence goes... guaranteed you won't be able to inspect the bike, they'll want you to pay via some sort of escrow service etc, that supposedly protects your money until it’s delivered to you, in reality they’ll just take your money and run…
Heaps of these types of ads on Gumtree & Craigslist, they’re all scams and a waste of time! Though, it can be fun to **** them around with emails... if you're bored and have the inclination...
Just sent the below note to him:
Very interested in your bike, i am up in london today visiting family and have the time to come and view it. If its as described would you be negotiable, say £500 and i could buy it today.
we wait......
that one looks a bit more legit... probably a fairish price for a 5+ year old bike?
