Other Descriptions:

It's not the newest of bikes, and I haven't ridden it for a while, but there aren't many Evil Imperials in Melbourne. It's been parked in a secure underground bike storage area with a Kr2 super thick bikelock. The lock was also missing with the bike. I'm guessing someone's been scoping the bike for a while and decided to just pinch it just now. Will be speaking to my building manager tomorrow to see if there is any CCTV footage of the theft taking place, as there is a camera trained on that area.

Please contact me if you have seen the bike around. 0413496324

Imperials are as rare as hens teeth and also easily identifiable. I'm in Brisbane and will be keeping an eye out in the CBD.

Thats sucks!
guys, to my knowledge there are only 3 evil imperial ever landed in australia
-1 belongs to me (green)
-1 belongs to sane (red, formerly owned by supross88)
-and last one is belongs to jamcity (black)

keep in mind that the frame might be repainted by the stealer
but evil imperial is easily identified due to it's twin top tube..
so keep an eye out! and spread the words!

What about all the people that imported them privately from the US? I was going to do it myself but ended up not going down that path. But i wouldn't be so sure on the 'only three in australia'

Anyway i love this frame so i'll keep an eye out =)

if they're smart they'll never ride it around the city.

[addmin]

ouch.

will be down that way in few days... will keep my eye out..

[rhyshocking]

damn, nice setup there.
ill keep the eyes open around geelong for any sight of it.
good luck.

Three my Butt...............There are a heap more around the country if you cared to travel and look. My mate has two of them here in WA.

But, they are unique and easy to identify.....

[holdenutes_93]

Yeah I will be keeping an eye out for you....the idiot who stole it must not realise that the Imperials are a rare bike around here. It might be best to occasionally check out the bikes on ebay to see if it has been listed for sale on there or at local pawn broking shops such as cash converters and etc, maybe even leave a picture with the owner to be sure not to accept the bike.

[classclown]

DAMMNN killer looking bike man, way too easy to spot out. Consider the CBD/CARLTON/FITZROY/RICHMOND areas covered :cool: definately won't go too long unspotted.
