STOLEN: Custom Rocky Mountain Slayer Slopestyle

 akward momment were the theif takes it to a bike shop to get a part replaced....

 downtube shifter so bars are cable free!

 @johnny-compton, its a down tube shifter, but i can see why you thought that it was a lock out thing

 Wankers. They should be hanged! And how can you think it locks out the shock, you can clearly see it's a SRAM X-series shifter!

 My first thought when I read the title of the article: "Are you f**king kidding me? Again an idiot who steals one-of-a-kind bike for...exactly? WTF do you steal a pro's bike?!"

 Stealing a one of a kind bike is pretty retarded. He won't be able to sell it without being busted, unless he sells it to some douche at the skatepark for like $20. It's not like he's going to ride it. People who ride bikes know what a bike is worth to somebody.

 Stealing any bike is retarded.

 Well if anyone wants to drop that bike off for a cheap price no questions asked just give me a call.

 Dont want to sound negative or anything but normally when a bike like this gets stolen, its very difficult to find it or the guy that stole it. These guys strip the bike down and just sell everything they can..

 don't steal bikes bro.

 so uh........ where did ya leave it? how exactly did it get stolen

 Yea wut a dumb @ss stealing a full custom bike. Seems as if this year has been terrible for stolen bikes.

 ya seriously he won't get far

 Chances are the theif hasn't got a clue that this bike is so rare, he'll just be a random lowlife

 All he hasto do is disassemble it and sell individual parts on ebay from different accounts. Thats what they do with stolen cars.

 Yeah, It wouldnt be that rare if the parts are dismantled.

 apart from you wouldnt be able to flog the frame unless you polished it or powder coated it and probubly changed the shock

 @ downhilldustin He could always paint the frame and swapped a couple parts...

 i don't think paint would hide a noticeably unique rocky mtn frame

 well, it would help

 I really dont think so. Its a completly unique tubeset...

 Maybe you all shouldn't be giving out ideas....

 Dude relax... I know that the guy is an asshole

 your the 'dude' that needs to relax...relax your tongue so it isn't waggin how to part the ride out...think about your comment before you give out info to a lot of bike thieves who definitely watch this site - that's all we are saying....

 in bellingham theres a very very old city law that grants permission to shoot a native american thats riding horseback with a single shot pistol...im pretty sure its still in effect. anyways if your going to steal a bike try and steal one that there are more of. just dumb.

 Shoot first, think later --- the texan way. Aim for the arms. We want him to suffer!

 I'm not sure if that's the Texan way. Arizona and Nevada have are both firearm friendly and "Wild West" as well. I know that horse thieves used to be shot on sight......let's apply that to full susp bikes as well.

 That's what I was thinking.

 Yea have a chat with him. Whatever whoever says in most cases you can tell, you can fkn tell what kind of life a person lives. I was unfortunate to meet a bike thief because my friends brother is such a stupid fk and hangs around with such people (and buys stolen stuff). A guy came around offering us a stolen bike with not even a bit of attempt of trying to talk quiet. Screw that political correction, a world without prejudice - you can tell by the looks, you can fkn tell... and if you are not sure, just talk to the guy, ask him normal questions where does he live, what does he do, and then you will be able to tell. Liars smell from a mile and good liars don't bother stealing bikes. And you can ask around your friends and stuff, you don't need to go tell everyone you think the guy's a thief, that's a shty thing to do.

And yes GPS would be sweet. One you can just put into your saddle.

 exactly! Glad to see that I'm not the only one thinking about that. It drives me nuts sometimes.

I was more thinking about a foldable thing (like some phones already are) that you put around your bottom bracket. In the saddle is not really reliable since that is one of the first removed things if they take the bike apart.

 The saddle is the only place where GPS tracker can recieve/transmit signal. Maybe inside CF frame, but as far as metal frames go sorry. Many GPS trackers have the option to put the simcard in so you get the info if your bike moves. You can set intervals and stuff. If you are at work, you know no one should be moving your bike. Once you got the first contact from a building it won't be hard to begin the hunt.

 A simple bike lock works to... and having the common sense to lock it up, before you leave it sitting around.

 A chip with an app that charts your ride speed, elevation, what trails you took, and saves it online in a catalog you can access from your iphone, droid, or personal computer/mac. Only problem is the thief finds it and tosses it in like two seconds. Lojack might be better since you could hide it under your seat post and I think it would still work. They make lojack for cargo and laptops. Seems like it could be made to work for bikes.

 gouty, most bikes like that are stolen from stores, vans or private attics, basements and garages when you are out of home... if someone gets there, he will take care of a bike lock pretty easily. Only pimps and people with too much money ride bikes like that in the city, and I don't know any normal person who takes a lock on a ride with him. The only time I take mine to the city is when I go to the LBS with it for a service... taletotell everythig you say exists, it's just that it is big. Police was using it on bait bikes

 same thing happened to me except the kid was about 13, theives are getting younger, and also stupider

 Well bike are meant to be ridden, so ride them. when you have to stop for food or something, keep a real close eye on your bike. and the people surrounding it. i do this, and still have my bikes. another tip, dont go to a 7 eleven close to a skatepark by yourself, common sense solves everything. If a thief goes thru all the trouble to get your bike when its locked up or your watching it. then he probly deserves it...

 I bought this bike to ride it. Not to put it against a wall or fence while I'm getting a drink. Why I want a gps tracker is not for that kind of theft, but for when it gets stolen out of a van on vacation, or out of my house. All it would have to do is transmit a unique code to a central system. Something like Google Maps. Actually, Google would make billions selling that kind of thing and writing the software for it. What stops them from doing so is that that device could be used to actually track people you want to follow. Like a cheating wife. And then murder her. And Google is held responsible for it (partially). You know how stupid people are... That's the reason stuff like this is written in the user manual of my ear plugs: "do not try to eat". ///// SERIOUSLY???

 When I was small I read the same thing on the package of ear plugs lying by my dad's bed - but I was a daredevil so I decided to lick them at least...

 And last year at interbike, Kelly McGerrys prototype bikes... had the custom Marz stantion coating...

 dont forget the fox truck

 Right... why would people steal custom things or things that are well known?

 for money.... derp

 But then everyone knows about it

 what the f*ck is with poeple theres been so many bike thefts lately one of my friends just got like 20,000 in bike stolen from his garage... so be on the look out for a s works epic in the squamish area too :p

 I don't get it. some of them show up but most of them don't. you'd think that people would steal these bikes to, I dunno, ride or sell? but they always just go missing and never show up again. I don't get it.

 Why do people steel this with such obvious value!?!

 Are you really that stupid? Bike stealing scum bags don't give a rat's ass about the value of a bike they steal, hell they don't even know anything about bikes. They just sell it to another scumbag for a few bucks to buy some weed and stuff, that's it! It happens ALL - THE - TIME, so get over it! Seriously, most of the time you hear that a bike "disappeared" (=> got stolen) but do you ever ask how that could happen? I mean, i (still..) have to work for my money and i love my bikes so i never leave them unattended and they sleep in my house (near the fireplace of course ). It's really just common sense. So if a bike gets stolen always ask what the owner did to prevent the theft. Just don't leave it unattended! And locks? Are you kidding me? You know about all the different QR systems and a 5mm allen key is all you need to break down almost the entire bike, so how many locks do you think you'll need to secure your bike? So please, DON'T LEAVE YOUR BIKES UNATTENDED! (Otherwise it's your own fault that your bike gets stolen, then please go cry somewhere else).

 I bring mine to class. A guy tried to bust me walking down the hall with it I asked if the school would cover the replacement of a $3000 bike in the event a thief cut the lock and he started stuttering and then said to keep it out of the way. Most places don't mind if you bring the bike just inside the door. The drugstore lets me park inside and I just keep an eye on it. So does the clerk.

 iam in the wrong bussiness....

 2010 black/white Session 88 and 2011 black/red Session 8 both with white Fox 40's stolen from Squamish last night. keep your eyes n ears peeled and all your own bikes on lock down.
thieving scumbags are about

 The bike was payment for all his work he's done for his sponsors. Even if he didn't pay a penny he still earned it and I'm sure he values it as much as the next rider. Best of luck finding your bike, I'll keep an eye out.

 really.... $3000 + bike and you wana know why..... how many bikes do u have.

 Second that about the locks.. with the advent of the portable dremel tool and other battery powered cutters, it really doesn't take too much to get past a lock these days.

 Hey saudi arabia also kills women that are raped and uses their hats for toilet paper so maybe not the best country to use as example. Keep an eye on your shit and dont take your bike for granted and you wont have as many problems. Kids have bikes given to them or people get sponsored and loose sight of how expensive these bikes are. Anywhere there expensive items thieves going to b right there watching you. At least make these thieves have to confront you to get your bike. Then you have the chance to bag one or run and or call police.

 and crack dens. You're in a bad neighborhood JLP...

 you make crack dens sound like a bad thing.

 It was recovered shortly after with all the parts and tools gone. I belive there was an article on it here for the recovery

 gayyyy that sucks

 Good thing theres only a few of these frames ever made. Only the rocky mountain team get given these frames, so it'd be relatively easier to find.

 honestly you'd have to be retarded to steal this because its one of a few ever made so it will stick out like a sore thumb even if its stripped of parts and paint, hope you get your bike back jarrett!

 you'd have to be retarded to steal something from someone point. if you are too much of a fagot to work your ass and buy yourself the tings you want at least don't touch what others put all their time and effort to afford it. some says that its a big company so its nothing... it didn't came from the sky, someone had to start all that and others will say that the company's employe have good pays... they got great skills too... not everybody can fill those position. they worked hard to get there... I'm so pissed each time i see something like that happening ...

 Seriously... I think that I like my bikes MORE and certainly VALUE them even more since I've worked for them (except the free one but...) and I'd say a guy who rides that hard has certainly WORKED hard enough to earn that rig

 What's with bike thefts lately?

 bike thefts latley^^? it hapends all the time got two stolen form me! it sucks alot!!

 Well I meant Montgomery's bikes, the Saracen, Mcgazza's at Interbike last year, and the Fox truck, now Jarrett's And sorry about your bikes, man.

 I guess its just that its just started to get posted on here... bike theft happens all the time but no one wants to know unless they can either get something out of it or the riders a pro.

 yeah true both of you but once its an actual bike not some cheap piece it matters to everyone!

 shitt

 i only can say the same... ash*les

 he means the person who stole it, just to clarify..

 yeah, I should have rephrased that.

 y wat a fag
