Stem 105 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Mongrels!! At least it stands out, hopefully It'll be left somewhere to be found. Link to post Share on other sites
IronmanFoz 1,656 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 What bike is worth $17K. Clearly inflated for a news story....but still a low act. PS: I wouldn't have left it for 5 minutes in Beaumont Hills. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
tortoise 859 Posted November 12, 2015 Report Share Posted November 12, 2015 Take a top end frame, saddle, DI2, exy wheels, it wouldn't be hard to come close. I know the owner, it's a very out there bike. Link to post Share on other sites
trek52 474 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Nice bike but who leaves their bike on a bike rack, from the story I heard it was not just sitting there for a few minutes......... Feel sorry for her its awful losing a bike, it will turn up. unfortunately they will sell the groupset and wheels and throw the frame away. that is what I am hearing is happening a bit at the moment.

James 171 Posted November 13, 2015 Report Share Posted November 13, 2015 Feel sorry for her and I hope she gets it back. Best Facebook comment so far is she should have spent some of the 17k on a physio to become a bit more aero 2 Link to post Share on other sites

It can be yours for $12,500 which is the price of a new one from the dealer, except that their come with Dura Ace. Oh did I mention the disk is not included? Comes with charger by the way. No pedals but. Anyone? Anyone? Edited March 31, 2016 by Rog Link to post Share on other sites

MissJess 698 Posted April 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 1. Yeah, she got it back, they found it, then she set it all up again. 2. Yeah, she did podium, lots, the bike has been to worlds (sprint) in triathlon and duathlon. Used to pick up bloody medals for AG all the time, plus overall line honors in races at sprint level. 3. Yeah, I can confirm that she is now on a womens pro bike team, and is sponsored by another bike shop from what I know. Not making comments on price.
