Who'd buy a bike without some kind of provenance, hmmmm?
Or simply have morals.

presumably you mean brits abroad, seems a bit harsh
well, there's all the people buying bikes (and other stuff) off gumtree
from gumtree's own site http://help.gumtree.com/articles/Genera ... vice-Pages
translation: "we know criminals are using our site to flog stolen stuff, but we're not going to bother with any kind of identity verification as it'd put them off, if you come a cropper it's your own fault"
one of my bikes was stolen and fenced on gumtree same day, by a seller using a payg sim, same number was used with multiple names (male and female) to advertise multiple bikes, let's see, could these ads be iffy, duh, gumtree refused to take them down

Is he running the Evans trade in scheme? If Evans give all the locals a free bike maybe they'll stop stealing them from the shop :roll:
