Bought a Bike I think is stolen
    #14592363 - 06/10/11 07:53 PM (12 years, 7 months ago)

And dont feel like riding it around and getting confronted/arrested.

My question is, whats the best way to paint it and make it pretty much different looking. Also, is a bike shop gonna be suspicious if I bring in a brandless spray painted bike? lol.

no bike shop is going to say anything, my bike is fully custom paint.

File off / paint over any serial numbers you can find too.

Take off anything uniquely non-stock on the bike so that even if someone think it is theirs there is no way to prove it's not just the same model of bike you bought yourself.

Or you could just ride it, be honest, and if some guy says it's his, offer to give it back to him and ask him to pay you to recoup the price you paid to return it to him.

If you're worried about it getting scratched you might want to put on some kind of protective layer.

Personally, i just sprayed it on and rolled with it.

Mine's a BMX that gets thrashed around a lot, and the paint its surprisingly not too scratched at all.

I don't really care about scratches though...

dude I saw the guy who stole the bike and sell it to you, so it's definitely stolen.. the #1 question is why are you doing something you'd be paranoid about getting stopped by, and #2, why are you associating with people that would be involved in the stealing of a bike.
or
#3 you're just being paranoid... RELAX :sun:

Na The only tricks I can do are manual forever, 360, 180, barspin, every grind but toothpicks/over tooth because fuck that lol.
fakie wallride, full cab once in a blue moon.

That's my entire bag of tricks, I stopped progressing 2 years ago because I went away to school for 10 months so now I've been just using it as transportation and racing in the woods.


I got lucky, I grew up around a guy who is friends with the animal/skavenger team and ended up being taught by some seriously good people.

ever seen a wheel chair try to go downhill through a mudpit? Takes the pro to not flip face.. JK I mean people with one arm and one eye are awesome. That's the whole point, the more they are missing, the more they have to make up for it. TO be a person is to be whole, and most of us are missing something, somewhere in our soul, which keeps us going, and finding pictures along the way. It's all in the way you look at it, most Middle class and up people are all Handicapped, in the subject of the diverse and bustling reality of modern earth.

Cranks/pedals/tires are different now, and the sprocket is reversed so that the guard is on the inside.

The whole thing cost me about $450, the cranks/spindle cost more than the rest of the bike.

I bought it off some guy on craigs list for $180 and it was all trashed, but i fixed er up good!

My previous bike was stolen!!! :mad2:

I spent over a grand on that one.

my only damn problem left with my bike that if I had the money/cared to change is that my wheel is right side drive and I grind on the right.  Wish I had left side drive but when that's your only issue, you're fine.

the problem with artisans of economical advantage is that, blinded by their ambitions, situations manifest that would pro-cuer something that might be relevant to the current situations of not so random people reading the thoughts of a not so distant person. Anything is applicable... just don't go Effin=and be smart.. <3
