Red Zone Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 Yip I think his best place at World Champs was 5th, pity a WC would have capped a great career.
Garfield2010 Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 So......... whoever stole that bike now will hopefully have problems selling it... I will be on the lookout. Hopefully he will try and sell the bike as a whole. Was it ensured? Sorry about the loss though. It must be devastating losing your bike at this time. Maybe place this add in the Beeld and also ask Supercycling to show this picture in next weeks show?
SwissVan Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 obviously the bike, look at that thing Weeeel you might be a girl....never can tell on da hub
