Camera shop posing as a bike shop. This guy has dealt at least one stolen bicycle in Costa Mesa, CA. Check the comments on the article too. This guy is ripping people off more ways than one.

This guy just had to give an LAFixed member his frame/fork back that he had bought from a tweaker that stole the bike. He was selling a stolen frame/fork that was stolen from one of our own.

They are glorifying him. But read the comments, Don. HILARIOUS.
The first comment about fixed gears being "illegal" bikes is AMAZING.

A few months ago, I had Dustin convert a fixie, which I found in a thrift store, into a single speed for me. The fixed irritated my knee.
I got nothing but good service and good attatude from the guy.
I also witnessed him buying an old road bike from a kid while I was there. He took the kid's name and address before he bought the bike. I suppose the kid could supply false information, but Dustin seemed to know the kid and he did do some due digilance.
It is possible that Dustin could have bought stolen goods without knowing they were swiped.
I'd like to think that he will be more careful what he is buying and will run a successful and liget business.
...and I still think we should hang bicycle thiefs!

I've stayed out of this on LAFixed but hearing that he has repainted frames and forks with perfect paint sounds extremely suspicious to me.
