Again as often happen, Internet forum 1% users against 99% of non "nerdy" cyclists.

If i asked you question about your computer serial number or say motherboard type or something similar that you might be fairly knowlegeable but not nerdy about, could you provide the information someone asked for? if not does it make it ropey or stolen? No it means the person does not know how to find or aquire the information you require.

Again reciepts are easy lost and not every one even know what bike shepard is.

My advice would be like buying anything second hand worth a few quid, have a list of questions, if the deal sounds to good to be true it probably is. If your not happy with the answers walk away.

But based on the fact that the seller cant provide ANY evidence to show it isnt stolen makes it sound iffy even if it really isnt.

There is no serial anywhere, lol, only asking coz iw as told you need the serial to insure the bike.
the seller seems legit. Pretty friendly bloke.
only thing was that he lives in london and brought the bike all the way up here to visit his family.
