Went with the cops (about 20 of them) and the local cpf guys to try and find it using livetrack location without any luck. Big shout out to them.

Only had the frame for 3 weeks.Get further details about the incident in the Stolen Bikes sectionWhat time, knifes or guns and how many of them, were you riding alone? Going uphill towards the top on Gallop and then the 90 degree turn to the left is where they ussually wait for the ambush (they know you will be tired) and then it's a easy escape for the scum through the field and then across Summit Rd to Olievenhoutbos.

Just by the open land on the right. It was around 15:15. I was on my own. One with a knife and one with a gun. Cop told me of another incident. From his explanation sounded like Hackamore road. Sucks. Going to have to find a group to ride with in future. I see loads of people riding on their own in the area.

I see plenty people there alone on horses as well and are also being targeted. Thanks for the heads up and luckely you were not injured.

Hectic. I am thankful I am ok.

Omumborombonga Posted June 13, 2017 Author Posted June 13, 2017 Bummer. Your frame had a hidden GPS tracker? Tracker didn't work.. or? No tracker. Although I am going to fit one on my new one. We tracked it with my Garmin as livetrack was running. They must not have realised that it can do that. It eventually lost signal. We were a bit too late un getting to the area as the cops spoke to some locals who saw the bike right where the last location was.
