Bikes with the shaft drive system are so unusual, there is no way to fence them. Really wonder what the thief is planning too do with the bikes.

Yeah, I’m wondering, too. Still wrapping my head around the belt-drives.

“Bikes with the shaft drive system are so unusual”

I’d think the two bevel gears would have more friction than a chain. Can it shift gears?

Probably traded for 3 baggies of crack.

My guess is that they were stolen-to-order by a competitor.

I own a shaft drive bicycle, but I only paid less than 1K for it. Sadly, the company I bought it from went out of business a few years ago. The bike has a nine-speed internal hub on the rear wheel, and the first thing you’d notice is how oddly smooth it feels.
