It's pretty lousy thievery, though. If you're going to go through the trouble of forging something, you'd think you'd want to make a decent profit.
Seems a bit elaborate for 150 euros. Once you have to find a slightly plausible frame, paint it, put some parts on it, and then find a buyer, the hourly wage on this has got to be pretty poor.
Are the Sachs stamped parts for real? Anyone recognize that frame? I think the story of the forged bike is possibly interesting. Who would actually do this and why?
