Did you know the police sell all sorts of things including stuff seized from crimos and items for which an owner can not be sought? This includes bikes and their prices are cheap-cheap-cheap!

Definitely worth keeping an eye on if you are in the market for a speculative bike although the hard work is likely to be in picking it up

It's probably a sting.

In reply to ByEek: It was a little joke, based on the website name and cop connection.

I went to one years ago when my dad had to buy back his own tools when he did not have receipts to prove they were his to the police.

They had all sorts, speedboats, caravans, tools and a load of scaffolding. Was mainly bikes, electricals and household stuff.

Was a fun day to see what you could buy with pocket money.

I'm a little confused - Specialized Sirrus Sport Hybrid £82. Is that what they give you to take the heap off their hands?

Now now youth. I have a Specialized Sirrus. Not a bad bike. Not had a poorly day in the three years of daily use I have given it.
