I stand corrected. It's probably a good thing to give this poster the benefit of the doubt. Who knows? Seller may have some emergency where he needs to raise cash, or there could be health issues, or a myriad of other reasons that we don't know about. And if someone's interested in buying these bikes, I'm sure they'd want to suss things out. I don't think the asking price is out of line and the bikes look like they're in good shape and have very nice components. My personal point of view is that if I was buying a bike second-hand, I'd want to be cautious because I wouldn't want to buy a stolen bike. Apologies if I sounded like a troll.
