    A shame some of them weren’t painted in very low volume “test bike” colours, then there would only be a few dozen of each in the country.

    I hope they get found soon and the culprits are duly delt with.

    Exactly the same bikes were stolen in a Ram raid from us in October last year, all our 2010 Specialized test bikes!!!

    Really helpful comments those, I’m sure the owners will be indebted to STW. 10k+ of bikes, plus the damage and inconvenience to the shop.

    they are low volume testbike colours though….?

    M6TTF, my comment was aimed at other not very helpful posts which have thankfully been pulled. Think SpeshPaul is saying they’re NOT the low-volume test bikes, they’re the normal colours, which unfortunately will blend in and never be seen again.
