man an m3? that things got about half the travel. contact the dude
don't remember the specific person who's bike got ganked, but I'll bump this sucker anyway......
HA! If you look closely you can see that they put the shock linkage on upside-down. There is no way a tazer is that steep.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT POST ANYTHING ON CRAIGSLIST
i just contacted the guy (dave at BBB) and it's definately his bike. I contacted the seller hoping to take a look at it, but i'll take dave with me if it works out.
PLEASE KEEP THIS QUIET. The dude selling it probably had no idea what a "mountain bike website" is, but regardless, i don't want it getting out before we can nab the guy. If you'd do me a favor, flag the posts that say
RE: Intense M3 yadda yadaa. If the seller doesn't know people are on to him, he won't take it down.

Keep us posted on this news man... :nuts:
Just for excitement i decided to contact the guy on craiglist. i figure a few hour head start would provide some good dramatic chase stories, for us here on the monkey. 
c'mon y'know i didn't.......
c'mon y'know i didn't.......
Damn that is pretty fishy...
Same fork, same brakes, Sram Drivetrain, and the deciding factor... same exact mismatched wheels.

this will be so badass if he goes down for this, take care of the dude please :mumble:
I didn't see anything on CL other than the original post? Where are the posts outing him? 
Good luck to Dave getting it back!!!

they're just above his post, under bikes. They should be there.
Could you do me another favor and post on MTBR and busted spoke NOT to contact the seller? It may already be too late, but i don't want anyone to know what's going on until it happens.

okay I read the flags and all they say is the listing is suspicious nothing is said about this bike belonging to Dave.
Bumpidy bump. Keep us posted boi!
I am waiting to hear back from the guy. I'm praying he replies, because then we might be able to find out where he is, and get the bike back to dave.
MAN that would make my day. It's no longer pink though, but it'll probably still make his day too.

Scrape off a bit of that orange to see if you see pink under there. See if you can bring an off duty cop w/ you as "my buddy who knows bike better than me."
...or have a BB that tall! Screwed the pooch during re-assembly...lol!El_Chimichanga said:
So what finally happened with this bike?
The ad got removed, and now it's back up. The seller won't respond to emails, which is the weirdest thing. Both Dave and I have tried emailing the guy, and he hasn't responded to either. I'm not sure why he would post it if it weren't for sale....
Anyways, if he can get a warrant, craigslist will release all the info they have so they can pursue the criminal...but apparently that has been a problem getting the detective to show.
One thing I didn't know, there was a reward out for the bike...he says he'll employee purchase me a bike, if I want to...I'll have to see what kind of fundage I have, but I'm hoping he gets his ride back.
