Someone recently sold the bike via OfferUp. After purchasing, the buyer thought there was something odd about the seller being not the type of person who would build/own a custom S&S travel track bike. He looked up the bike, found it on the registry and returned it to me. I paid the buyer what he had paid for the bike + $100 for the effort and kindness. vertaald uit het Engels

Jevon Bike hersteld 2016.12.21I had posted my bike as stolen, with pictures, on Craigslist. A great human being messaged me to say someone was offering my bike as a trade and that it was posted on OfferUp. I then asked a local rider on mtbr.com if he would help me get it back, and he was down. So we met up and went to the sale together (Police were aware but unable to get us a stand-by unit in time). Thief let me test ride it, so my friend got in his car and drove away as I pedaled out of there, middle finger waaaaay up! We re-met down the road, checked the serial # and put my bike on his car rack and took it home. Len, thanks bro! vertaald uit het Engels

Hlynur Bike hersteld 2016.12.6A member of Bike Index spotted my bike listed on a site called offerup.com. he messaged me. My son and I set up a time to "Buy" the bike from the "Holder" of the bike in a Lowe's parking lot. we arrived early and staked out the setting. I went in the store to wait. My son messaged me when they arrived. I went out to the parking lot further away and watched the situation. When my son confirmed the bike was mine, he gave me the pre-determined signal. I called 911. he went inside the store to "get money from the ATM" to stall. I saw the people were getting nervous and getting ready to leave. I went up and confronted them at that point to stall them. The police arrived in about 8 minutes after I called them. The police then confirmed details and I was able to take the bike home with me :D vertaald uit het Engels
