  1. 1 – What are Santa Cruz doing about security ?
    2 – What are the thiefing ****ts doing – knicking something like that ?
    3 – It’s CA = need for drug money rules all senses !

    Hope they get it back – a thing of beauty, if you like that sort of thing 😉

  2. Is that triple crankset, how many Nomad riders have that set up?
    Sure it will be easy to spot that colour scheme even in the USA!

  3. They thieves just don’t think. Mate of mine (mugtree@mugtree.com, if anyone spots it) had this nicked a couple of weeks ago in Bristol. It’s not like it’s a common colour scheme, so it’ll be difficult to shift without being recoloured.

  4. A stripped camo nicolai, a rare bike indeed.

    Theievs that are taking high end bikes are that stupid. Its the reason very very few turn up.

  5. It’s a right ugly beast though, bet he sighed with releif when it was gone…

    Not acceptable though, you just don’t steal – I hope they get caught and justice is served cold to them!

  6. you say this about being eaily identify-able, but STW had a very distinctive (urban camo IIRC) maverick stolen didn’t they…it was never heard of again.
