Stolen bikes

Forwarded it to the guy who recently lost his Curve Belgie bike

Here it is: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233573372892

Fork seller: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/124091407051
Wheel seller: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/233493927773

Thanks (and to @user112229 ), between the two accounts they are moving a fuckload of parts
Hope the guy gets back to you soon cos the listing ends in 3 hours
Good detective work team

Did you forward to his facebook account? Might be more likely to see it there?

If you google the seller's username, 'spooky...' (not complete so this isn't returned for searches), then there's a lot of cached bike sale adverts/bike images.

Same for the other username - magictri... - which seems a very similar format of name to the first.

OK will post in there when I get the frame out and see what it is and size. I can post image of it in here and current projects section. Let me know re your parts bin. Many thanks

He already got back. Decided to wait and see if the seller lists any more items from his bike (if it's from his bike)...

Sorry,I didn't get it - how do you do this google search including seller's username?

wheel seller
fork seller
these include sold items for both accounts, maybe his groupset is in there? Seems like they don't sell the frames on ebay due to them being identifiable. There's several frames and full bikes on there

I would act sooner rather than later

A friend has this old (gold) road bike frame and forks for free. 58cm with headset and crap old bb.

..but as @yokes says start a thread in Current Projects section then PM me.

Happy to donate the parts mentioned and that ^ frame.

Long term, I'll defo get my frame built up. But if this is going for free now, I'm happy to collect and grateful!

What are you referring to. Sorry I'm confused. Dealing with multiple post replies right now

wheel seller

I can't act on anything in terms of buying parts for at least a month mate. I haven't even got money to eat this week. Flatmate has been furloughed and owes me £2000 rent. I owe my landlord around £8000 and not working. Circumstances may change. I'm self employed and assessing options in terms of help available to me. I haven't applied yet because I'm waiting to see if my gf from LA can enter early June for a month so we can see an immigration lawyer regarding her visa options. She was going to apply for tier 2 work visa as a chef but no one will be recruiting for the foreseeable, so we're looking at spouse visa options for the calendar year. So, basically, until I know 100% how what I apply for in terms of financial help affects her visa options, I can't help for financial help yet. So cash flow for now has to go on food, literally and then rent. That's what I'll get my old frame and see what I need to build for it and can get now in terms of donations. Someone offered me a really crap bike for £10 on DM in Facebook. If that stands I may go for that for now so I can at least cycle about a bit and get to Westfield and do a food shop on my bike etc Sorry for the long explanation. Appreciate the help though

Interesting link to the eBayer mentioned in a report about a stolen Brompton in Islington:

Start a new thread elsewhere so this one isn't gummed up then we can all talk about sorting your bike.

Buy that £10 bike too.

Open a new ebay account, bid a million quid on everything the above seller ever posts until you get blocked, then someone else do the same?
Make sure they can't ever sell anything on ebay

Don't know if this would actually help any situation

That was a reply to another person, sounds shit though. Will look out for your new thread

Cool. Will do. Thanks for the advice

I can't for sure say this is my bike though, if you're referring to the OMA Bikes seller.

Woah, there's other usernames, and I've found more cached results
I'm wary of this thread being quite visible, I think I'll set up a member's thread for further investigations?

No the other guys were talking about a seller who has listed parts potentially stolen from other members on here.

I may have some parts to help you get a bike together too. Make that thread and we can help

+@JamesCooper What frame size? Might have frame and forks going spare.
