Check out one of the other bikes, which has a high bidder named "warning**scammer**" - I like that! If you check that person's ID history, it's pretty interesting. Glad there are hacker-hunters out there doing good work. Greg Parker Ann Arbor, Michigan

actually looks like a hacked account - low feedback, but all positive, no bikes in previous sales - and now a rash of bikes shipping from china (or is it the uk?), a good portion of which look suspiciously deal-priced, on 1-day auctions as a snatch and grab before ebay can react. looks like 2 people have already taken the bait, too.
