I'd just like to point out that the bike in post #238 (and #200) was built by Drew Gill of Spin Industries in the UK. The photo was by taken by Drew Gill when he was out on a training ride...his shop is just a few miles away. I have confirmed this directly with Drew Gill.....PS he makes awesome bikes and wheels.

The cancer tour seemed legit. There was an article posted at some point from a local paper or something talking about his ride. I was happy to cut the dude some slack after that and It seemed we were all going to just let the Spin bike saga fade into the past, but now Ty's decided to double down on that bundle of nonsense.

It's puzzling that Ty-Babe would bring up the Spin bike saga here ... especially when it was completely unnecessary to do so as it simply doesn't apply to anything in this thread. There's a whole lot of "really odd" about all of this.

was postulating that mooching off the preacher was due to a
light wallet (his, not a warm one from the showers!) caused
by excessive spending on photoshopped super bikes.
give me credit for not mentioning the sunglasses....

The stock bicycle photo looks like the one we had. I can't tell about the other photo. I somewhat remember this debacle happening and it's why I stayed off BF until I did. I believe he sent proof to an admin that we owned a Spin. Idk tho I suffer from CRS
A lot less than he paid for it We never found out exactly where the gentleman lived. We met him at the now defunct Haggens in Tualatin near the WES line. I assume it's in SoWaCo. Wasn't necessary to find out where he lived.

you'd be sooo wrong! talk about an amazing coincidence!
you sold this bike.....
.....and jinkies! it turns out you sold it back to the original owner....the man who in fact
built the bike in the first place!
got less than you paid? i can imagine....in fact i do imagine.....i can see the three of
you in trench coats in an unlit parking garage after midnight, exchanging a $15K
custom built rig for weed....
well, i can't think of any other reason the nameless dude didn't mention "oh, by the way,
i happen to have built this very bike!"
anyhoo, it's back with its rightful owner now.....and one more coincidence, the new/old
owner somehow managed to find the exact spot where ty took his photo, to take
his own copy that he put on his instagram thingiepage! what are the odds???

fortunately these days we have this intertubes thing, a
cure of sorts for CRS syndrome.
well, a series of tubes in congresscritterspeak, but i digress.
the interwebs is a place where nothing is forgotten. ever.
anything you've ever posted is there to be found,
whether or not you've deleted it......
