Bike pinched from the shop at about 6:10 pm yesterday by a young man, about 5'10", with a shaved head and a few earrings in his left ear. Retail on this bike is $4999. Times are pretty hard for shops at the moment, and stuff like this really hurts. We confirmed with the distributor of Commencal that this is the only size large meta 5.5.1 in Australia at the moment, so if you see one, don't hesitate to call the police or the shop here on (02) 6230 0887.

Thanks very much,

- Joel @ Mal Adjusted Bicycles, Canberra.

Shit, that sucks. I remember seeing that beauty in the showroom - absolutely lovely bike. Will keep an eye out for the bike and the chutney ferret thief.

i dont see why people steal bikes that are one - of - a - kind. No point, unless they ship it to a mate overseas.

Geez that sucks. Stupid prick. i love that it's the only one in a large in the country though, decent chance that'll be his undoing. see what his cell mate Bubba thinks of a nice smooth scalp and some earrings..
