I like to consider myself a sort of "robin-hood" when it comes to these things (although I have an ancestor who was a bishop of nottingham, likely a thief), I recently acquired a cannondale with dura ace 10spd that was in a friend's yard for a month, we think his father's girfriend's son nicked it, he is a teen bmx punk, the sti's and wheels were gone. So I took it home, stripped it, sold the deraieullers, kept the slr saddle, and gave the rest to my buddy to build his first fixed, it would have sat in the yard then ended up in the dump otherwise.
