This is better than daytime soap. Any respoonse from Mr Best - i.e was the bike actually stolen or did he hand it to Niel to do the necessary knowing his fine reputation...

btw it's "Neil's Wheels". Niels got upset last time!

I've defended this oke in the past, because i believe that there is a place for honest 2nd bike dealers.
but it's just too fishy.
notice how hardly any mtb's for sale these days - is it winter maybe?

this one looks like it's had a bit of a 'conversion'.
bit of a downgrade on the fork and brakes?!

One of these was posted as being stolen a while back... Sent the previous owner a link, but never heard anything back from them. Wasn't enough detail in the stolen ad to tell if it's the same frame or not.

I wish Shaye would let us know when he's dropping by. We could all go watch.
I'd agree with you, but then we'd both be wrong.

Has it been confirmed his bike was stolen?

It probably already disappeared, maybe we should delete this thread? But then again we all are witnesses so if he says it isn't there we can say it was

No dude, you should have first swopped out some of the components first before trying to sell ;)
