  • Dear Friendly Biking Folk

    A couple of weeks ago I was burgled and two bikes were stolen from my home in Birmingham. The bikes are the following:

    1. Santa Cruz Blur LT2, custom build
    2. Rocky Mountain Vertex 30 2006 model, stock build except the saddle

    A photo of the Santa Cruz is attached. The red cable routing and red Christ King headset are redeeming features. The bike includes the following components:

    Frame, Santa Cruz blur LT2 size medium colour black yr 2009
    Wheels, Mavic Crossmax SX yr 2008
    Tyres, front Maxis Argent UST, rear Maxis Igniter UST
    Front fork, Rockshox Pike 456 spring coil
    Rear shock, Fox RP23
    Brakes, front and rear Avid Juice 5
    Cranks, Truvative Stylo
    Rear derallieur, Sram X9
    Headset, Chris King red
    Seat post and saddle, SDG I-Beam system

    Unfortunately I don't have a personnel photo of the Rocky, so attached is a stock image. A redeeming feature of the bike is a sticker on the seat tube that would say Mikes Bikes Service or something like that. Also, the rear brake and hub do make a funky noise! It has the following components:

    Frame, blue size medium, 2006 model
    Fork, Marzocchi Grand Fondo Race 2
    Brakeset, Shimano Deore brakes, Shimano Deore dual control STI levers
    Shift Levers, Shimano Deore dual control STI
    Front Derailleur, Shimano Deore
    Rear Derailleur, Shimano Deore XT
    Crankset, Race Face Ride XC ISIS
    Seat, Specialized wide-fitting approx 152mm
    Hubs, Shimano Deore
    Rims, Alex DP-17

    I have a police crime number for the burglary and in contact with the CID. If you come across these please contact me so I try and get my steads back!

    You should post this in the Birmingham forum. Pretty fancy bikes, sure to stand out in brum. Keep an eye on Gumtree and also the sunday car boot in the city centre.
