First world problem really. Also people look for deals hence in this example a second hand bike is purchased. There is no 'title' with bicycles and anything second hand bought off someone you don't know has to be assumed to be stolen. The market for second hand bikes encourages bike theft. There are plenty of very good new bikes at almost all price points and the guy in the local bike shop can show you three bikes suited to your size, your use case and your budget. Docking about online doing your research is all very interesting but the guy in the bike shop will help you just fine without you being an armchair expert. No point ranting on about Amazon you just have to get away from the screen and get to the bike shop.
