<p>Good work. Other than the custom stem and a few other very minor variations from a stock Trek 2.1 this bike doesn't seem really all that unusual or noteworthy IMHO to raise much of a red flag. Seems like this shop could be checking every bike against the serial numbers on the website. Is there an easy way to do this on the CSBR that I obviously don't know about? The last time I tried doing this I ended up having to search manually -a somewhat long and arduous process for bikes that haven't been recently stolen. </p>
<p></p>
<p>Still this is one more proof, in my mind at least, that it is all-important to record and know the serial number of your bike before it gets stolen. </p>
