[911]

My bike was stolen last night in Marin, causing me to fall into a deep state of depression. Here are the specs:

Large Black Yeti DH9 Frame
2002 RockShox Boxxer w/ TiNi stanchions (the gold ones) and '03 metal decals.
Fox Vanilla RC shock custom tuned by Push Industries (has push sticker kit on it)
Gold King Headset
MRP Guide
Hayes Brakes
Race Face Cranks
Sram X.0 Derailleur with X.9 Shifter
Mavic Rims laced to Hadley Hubs
Easton Bar and Stem

This is a pretty rare setup... the only one in the Bay Area that I'm aware of. The Push tuned shock and TiNi boxxer should make it easy to identify. Also, the frame's sticker kit was only done on a limited number of frames (the regular one features more yellow and turquoise).

Please keep an eye out. If anyone spots the bike or recognizes any part of it for sale online, drop me an e-mail asap: aaronr@ucsc.edu or call anytime (415) 383-5714

Aaron!!! you've got to be sh|tting me!?!?!? MOF@#$@!%$!@#%!#@$23

I would kill...

good luck...I'll keep an eye out for sure - and a Baseball bat in the car in case.

Thanks Luc... I drove around town for hours last night right after it happened but no dice. Hopefully it will turn up.

beat stick. I know almost every yeti in this area AND their owners. It's game time.

Yep... if the guy's dumb enough to ride it around, it'll be easy to spot him.

I am at northstar and all around LT on a regular basis and will keep an eye out for it. Should be easy to spot.

LT?

Ya I'm also at the Star on a regular basis...if he's there this weekend, I'm leaving him to rot somewhere on Boondocks - better yet, near manure pile where he belongs. :angry:

Really sucks!

:mumble:

dude...

duuuuude...

duuuuuuuuuuuuude!!!

That F-ing sucks man. Have you looked into the possibility of homeowners/renters covering the loss? Was it at your parents house on their property, if so it's covered.

In the meantime if it sees the light of day I'm sure one of us 's will see it.

Posted this on the other board... I hope you get her back

Best of luck getting the rig back... You might want to keep a close eye on MTBR.com classifieds. There are a couple of Yeti DH-9's that have been posted lately.

I'll keep an eye out for it in the SoCal area around Newport and Laguna Beach

 

[drtbikrr]

Do you have the serial?

 

[jimw]

That totally sucks! I feel for you man... just had my bike stolen a couple weeks ago. Will keep an eye out for it.

or so he says. I changed my addy in ebay just the other day before putting an item up for sale. It took me two seconds and they did nothing to verify it.

I don't have an e-bay account - I assumed it was more secure than that? oh well..

Plus do you really think they would have taken the time to switch out the headset? Gold for Black?

 

[DLo]

I'll shoot that guy a couple questions myself when I get home. Ya never know!

Btw, 911, do you drive a Jeep? I could have sworn I saw your bike one time on 101, there was also a nicolai on a hitch rack? Just wonderin if that was you. Hope your baby turns up

 

[911]

Yeah... jeep with a Nicolai UFO and a Yeti was definately me. Now it's just a UFO

Thanks for keeping an eye out on ebay... unfortunately I can tell by the pics that that Yeti isn't mine (my frame had some distinct scratches).

 

[dfinn]

I don't suppose you have renters or home owners insurance do you? One of the first things I did after my girls bike got stolen off my yakima rack was to get renters insurance. I sleep a little bit better at night now.

What kind of distinct scratches are we talkin'? That might help speed up the search, especially if some dumb**** decides to part the frame...

I'm down here in the South Bay and I'm in Santa Cruz, East Bay, and so forth every week. I'll keep my eyes peeled for it, and if I see it, there will be fisticuffs thrown.
