I just wanted to let everyone know about our bikes that were stolen in case any of you run across someone offering a really good deal on a bike that sounds similar to one of these. ‘05 Norco Six Black Size Medium SN A4067798 Marzocchi Z-1 fork Fox DH3 shock Sram X.9 shifters & rear derailleur Shimano Deorefront derailleur Truvativ Hussefelt cranks 32/22/bashguard Hayes HFX9 brakes & levers Titec Scoper telescopic seatpost w/Titec Berzerker seat ‘04 Norco Atomik Black Size Medium SN A3168 Marzocchi Junior T fork Fox Vanilla R shock Sram X.9 shifters & rear derailleur Shimano XT front derailleur Truvativ Hussefelt cranks 32/22/bashguard Hayes HFX9 brakes & levers Axiom seat post w/WTB Speed seat ‘03 Trek Liquid 20 Blue Size Medium SN WL3005357 Rock Shox Psylo SL Fork Fox Talas RL shock Hayes HFX9 brakes & levers Sram X.9 shifters & rear derailleur Sram X Gen front derailleur Easton E70 carbon seatpost w/Selle Italia XO seat Truvativ Team Stylo Cranks 32/24/bashguard ‘04 Specialized FSR XC Pro Disc Red Size Small SN M3JL32412 Manitou Axel Plus LO fork Fox Float R shock Shimano Deore Hydraulic brakes & levers Shimano Deore shifters & front derailleur Shimano XT rear derailleur Shimano XT cranks 32/22/bashguard I can provide more specific details on the components if anyone wants them. We'll be keeping our eyes out for them being sold at places like craigs list and ebay. I've also notified a few of the bike shops that buy used bikes. I'm hoping that someone trying to sell the Norcos will send up a red flag. My fear is that they'll be sold to a pawn shop that doesn't check to see if they are stolen. Please let me know if you see anyone selling a bike that sounds similar to one of ours and you think it looks suspicious.
They were stolen from our condo parking garage. It's a small building and everyone is good about making sure the doors are kept shut. We were told that apparently kids have been stealing electric garage door openers and trying them around various neighborhoods in Seattle until they get lucky. There wasn't any forced entry so that's as good a guess as any as to how they got in. So far eveyone in the building swears that they made sure the doors were closed last night. Almost everyone uses the garage door so that's most likely true.
I thought I'd post some good news about our bikes. Someone was selling the Atomik on Craigslist and we were able to recover that bike on Tuesday. The guy that was selling it didn't have anything to do with the theft, but he gave SPD some good info on the guy he got it from. We're hoping they can track down the other 3 bikes now. Wish us luck.
