This seems too good to be true. Anyone know of a teams out there that have had a Madone 6.9 stolen recently?

Must be...the front wheel alone is worth more than the whole bike. My size too.

Team Type 1 got their kit stolen last week doing a Euro race. Not sure if they were Madone bikes.

Possibly a scam? I remember reading something a few weeks ago about another gumtree bike in Aberdeen, seemed like a really good deal too - seller was contacted, he provided a number to call, said he was working off-shore - I think it turned out to be one of those foreign premium phone lines. Reading the ad, it doesn't look like English is their strong point either.

Quite often see bikes on gumtree that were previously on ebay. This one is from Canada.
