 Logan from Abbots way managed to get his bike back thanks to the help of the Remuera Library's security cameras. So if you see some one riding around on a bike that looks like this don't jump him because its probably Logan. NEWS Thursday, November 29, 2007Here is a bit of bad news from the local riders from Abbots Way, Auckland. First of all Logan from that area got his bike stolen from the Remuera Library (while he was studying for exams). Apparently it took him along time and allot of saving to get his bike how he wanted it! So please keep a look out for it if you are in that area or around town, you never know where it might pop up... this is what it looks like. and here are the specs: Fly 3 Amigo's Frame in a dark red powder coat, no stickers, but notable are the seat stay and chain stay bridges which are plates instead of tubes, in a A shape.S&M RV Bars-Cut down a bit, no stickers. Odsy Old Style, non tapered leg Race Forks Black Fly Brakes and Dirt Harry lever. Fly and Animal asm tires. Odsy Aitken Black Seat New Black Profile Cranks New Black Profile SS Mini Cassette hub. Animal Hamilton Pedals-Black and Sealed and Old Duralectra Odsy Black back rim, 36h Ryno Lyte Vandero 36 front wheel. And in other bad news Stephen (the guy who came second in the zombie hop comp) took a fall at forest hill and got a peg in the head, after moving from A&E to home to Ascot to Auckland Hospital he had Fairly intrusive brain surgery to remove the fragments of bone from inside his head, he is doing ok now, but obviously is feeling like shit and has been told no biking for 6 months, Luckily ACC should have him covered, NZ aint such a bad place to live... hope you get better soon dude!
