Are the bikes stripped and sold in little pieces? Does stolen
stuff get into bike shops, with the shops' knowledge? 

On a different subject, I just crashed my Centurion Comp TA.
Should I replace the frame? All the components (600EX) and
the wheels are fine. I thought the bike handled really well,
maybe due to the sorta steep angles.

for a 23" frame, the Comp TA looks like this:
top tube length:570 mm
wheel base : 991 mm
chain stays : 410 mm
bottom bracket clearance : 68 mm
seat angle : 73
head angle : 73

All the tubes were double butted Champion #2. The whole
bike weighed about 24lbs, and now retails for about $420.
