Gen Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Jis.. how do they move all that stock before the security company gets there.. suppose they just throw everything on a bakkie or one of those mini truck things.
Eugene Brown Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Not much market for top end bikes in Moz, most just want a bicycle to get around for transport. You'll be surprised at the level of bicycles being used by Mozambican locals as "just transport", I saw an Epic in a village the size of a postcard, and a Surly FatBike in Barra being ridden with wooden planks fitted onto the XT cleat pedals. Don't be surprised.......
Paul Ruinaard Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Looks like my new favourite LBS was robbed this morning. They smashed the front door and grabbed some bikes. Please be in the look out for:Spez Levo Expert FattySpez Venge VIAS Pro Ultegra Di2Spez Epics, Comp, Comp Carbon, Expert and EliteSpez Amira SportPivot Machine 429sl And a whole wall of Corima wheels. The guys will come post here once they have cleaned up the mess, this is just a heads up.At least they have good taste in bikes.
hilton_ Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Not much market for top end bikes in Moz, most just want a bicycle to get around for transport. You'd be surprised. There are a lot of expats working in Maputo... Saw some proper bikes there in early December.
Skinnyone Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Yeah these bikes will wind up all over the place, Zim, Moz, Nam etc...as well as locally - clever crooks will wait until the heat is off +- 6mths and then move them around...so I wouldn't expect to see much in terms of Gumtree ads and the like soon. it probably didn't take much to move all those bikes quickly, a bakkie or van and they are piled on - remember the crook ain't gonna care much for a scratch or two... Also I stand to be corrected but I think CC has a back door that no one can see from the main road and there is a nice loading bay there so they could have taken their time? EDIT: re-read - they smashed the front door, my bad...
MTBc Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 eish that sucks. saw the complete cyclist van + cops + security there at 5:05 on the ride this morning. Not cool.
Pusher Posted January 10, 2017 Posted January 10, 2017 Saw the commotion when we rode past on our morning ride. There a whole lot of bikes and bike stands laying on the ground in font of the shop. Feel for the guys. Not a great way to start 2017!
Patchelicious Posted February 8, 2017 Author Posted February 8, 2017 It sounds like they got hit again last night!!
ZakAttak Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 It sounds like they got hit again last night!! Eish, thats bad news, did they not beef up the security? I would've put on a steel roller shutter by now!
Rocket-Boy Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 sounds like its time for perforated rollers now.Very sad that we even have to think like that.
Patchelicious Posted February 8, 2017 Author Posted February 8, 2017 sounds like its time for perforated rollers now.Very sad that we even have to think like that.Yeah, that will just ,make the next shop a target. We need to get the authorities to get to bottom of this. Where do these bikes go, what syndicate is behind it....
EmptyB Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Often the case if there's been no security changes following the previous incident (if that is the case).
Grey Hubs Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Perhaps they should list the serial numbers of the bikes that were stolen on the hub.
Firozfx Posted February 8, 2017 Posted February 8, 2017 Saw the video. These guys were organised Sent from my MHA-L29 using Tapatalk
