Carbon Nomad - Syndicate paint job. Edge Carbon wheels and lots of other crazy expensive parts that make this bike one of a kind and pretty easy to spot!

Edge wheeled pro bikes seem cursed. Wasn't Mitch Ropelato's edged jedi also stolen? Was it ever found?

What's up w/ pro bikes getting stolen so frequently? Seems like security might be better?

Doesn't mean bike thieves aren't the scum of the earth though.

Because if you are a Pro you can't be bothered w/ ever locking your bike or bringing it inside while you take a dump.

It probably got jacked from in front of the liquor store while Greg was picking up some wine coolers.:weee:

I bet those wheels will get sold to someone in Europe or Japan for $2k, the frame will get buried, the parts will end up on Craigslist. At least no one paid retail for anything!!!

if you were dumb enough to keep it, youd have to part it out so it was recognizable and paint it

That sucks..... Hell I have a welded Loop on a steel rod in the concrete and I lock my bike to that inside..

Then all I have to worry about is if I can get it unlocked in case of a fire LOL...

So there really isnt any safe keeping things.

I hope you guys get it back. :thumb:


On the positive side of things that bike is pretty SICK...

Over your shoulder whispering
Some obsessed Snta Cruz fanboy has it at his pad right now punching the clown to it. When the newness has worn off, he'll throw the frame in a dumpster and build up a hardtail Azonic with the parts.
