Advert mentions the bike is being sold with two spare wheels, so I'd say not stolen, just the seller doesn't know bikes - might be selling on behalf of a family member.

Trek FX1 found - Melbourne

About a month ago I found a Trek FX1 abandoned at my workplace (in the Melbourne CBD). For obvious reasons my thinking is that it was stolen then dumped.

I posted about it in a few bike groups on Facebook, but was surprised that I didn't get a single message about it (just a few likes, so at least people saw my posts). I've searched through BikeVAULT too, but no leads there. It only occurred to me today that I should try asking here.

Details wise, it's pretty large, maybe an L or XL, and black. I can't see a serial number anywhere. We also think it may have been left there by someone who'd been using it for a while, so there's no guarantee that it was stolen recently.

If you think it could be yours or belong to someone you know, please get in touch with me and tell me any defining features that could let us match it up. I can either reunite you with the bike or put you in touch with the security team at my workplace.

Any other tips on how to find its owner are very welcome.
