Suspicious?...yes. Stolen?...maybe. While I agree with everything everyone has said, it is possible that this is legit. Most 6-ish year old bikes that sold for what the Rom sold for originally would be lucky to fetch $500. It doesn't seem that implausible. Wasn't there a coupled Atlantis that went

Looks like at least the front brake is missing, too. Perhaps some parts were swiped for a fixed-gear project. On Dec 6, 2:54 pm, Steve Palincsar wrote: > On Sun, 2009-12-06 at 14:44 -0600, Dan Abelson wrote: > >http://minneapolis.craigslist.org/hnp/bik/1497663434.html > > > I saw this Romulus for
