if you contact J&B bike wholesalers and QBC (quality bicycle parts) and let them know he's selling stuff online, they will refuse him as a customer. You could probably even find the Tax ID for "fly bike shop" and the IP adress and get him banned from Craigslist, EBay, and anywhere else he's selling that stuff.
i just looked at his "website" - I'm sure if you let Surly, Bianchi, Avanti, Campy, etc know that their stuff is being trafficked through this "shop" they would figure out where and how and cut him off. I can't picture surly condoning this for some reason.
and i really hate to be the one to tell you, but I bet those Origin8 wheels that are pictured are the exact same hoops that such and such Taiwanese factory produces for Velocity, only re-branded and laced with shitty spokes to shitty hubs. That's just how cycling industry works.
Haha... that's really funny. I've seen this guys stuff on ebay and craigslist for a while now. His name is Lee, and his shop "Fly Bike Shop" is located on 6th and Downing in Denver. He used to have a partner with whom he worked alongside in a larger location in Arvada. Over time their Arvada "warehouse" closed and they have slimmed down to their shop on 6th Ave. (According to Lee.)
I haven't seen anything of theirs on ebay for sometime now... ever since I heard that the Arvada location had closed. I think that those larger distributers (J&b, & QBC) had discovered what he was doing on ebay a while back, which forced the spot in Arvada to close down.
