I happened across this bike online, didn't know squat about it, did a little reading, went to check it out, about peed my pants.
Unicorn Cycles (Colorado) titanium frame.
Hunt carbon wheels with Pirelli road tires; Onyx rear hub (silent!!!), Hunt front hub.
SRAM Eagle GX wireless shifting; 1X Wolftooth 34t chainring, SRAM Eagle 12spd cassette.
Shimano GRX hydraulic disks.
Non-drive-side crank has a power meter.
Whisky carbon fiber fork and seatpost.
A whole lot of spacers and swept-back handlebars.
Saddle bag with a bunch of goodies.
Digging the pedals.
Needs: cleaned up, new front rotor, fiddle around with the steerer spacers and handlebars, maybe a new cassette, remove the kickstand. Otherwise it rides beautifully and almost effortlessly – if I had to guess, it weighs maybe 22lbs max? I might also try out some different tires on it, but will ride as is for a bit to get a feel for it.
This was at a pawn shop in Raleigh, NC. They were asking $1499. I walked out with it for $993.

That is the most stolenest piece of stolen property posted here for quite a while.
No way that ends up in a pawn shop for that price legitimately.
Edit: [Nice job OP](https://www.reddit.com/r/bicycling/comments/1lqvxng/comment/n169wok/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)
So, I called a LBS, they had no knowledge of it; they referred me to another boutique shop of which I was unaware and within 90 seconds, confirmed stolen. I am now working with that shop, the original owner, and the Raleigh PD to sort this all out.
Thank you all so much for the suggestions, I guess in my excitement I just completely disregarded the red flags. But I am really, really looking forward to getting this back to its rightful owner!
Conclusion, and this came together in a hurry: The original owner should have his bike back now (or within an hour), I have my cash back, pawn shop is out whatever they gave the junkie for the bike.
Nicely done, good on you!
