does anyone know what mike hammers `959` looked like as ive just spotted this on a forum and the guys from sweden and says the bikes belong to a friend of his!  very suspicious if you ask me.

There is a picture of Mike and his bike on RDS's site under 'About RDS'.  It looks very much like a similar bike to me. It looks to have same wheels and spokes, same forks and writing on the swing arm. Quite an individual set up, especially those wheels.....

Callum and Colin have a contact number for him .

Yeh to right. He's got some front posting pictures on a forum, but I guess he thought because he's in Sweden no one from here would be looking.
Worrying thing is that he's got an 857 as well. So he might have been a member of this forum or even a friend?

best of it is he is the moderator of the forum as well, ive had a few run ins with him cos he hasnt got a clue, thinks he knows everything, told one guy to keep on riding his bike even though his brakes were juddering like hell, i told the guy to check all the pivots and linkages were tight, lo and behold he had a loose bolt in a pivot.

Sounds like a right dodgy Git!
I've emailed Mike to let him know about your find and suggested he looks at this link. Maybe he can track this guy down, or he may even know him?

its got to be mikes!!  ive just found this description of it in an old post!

Thanks for the heads up guys...

The bike I had stolen was fitted with grimeca hydraulic discs, hammerhead adapter at the rear, marzocchi forks, shimano wheelset... quite distinctive. I have not been able to access ebay here from work, I'll have a look at the link Bill sent me in the mail...
In a way I hope it is not my stolen bike, because I don't want to go through all of that....   and chances are that the person selling it actually bought it in good faith, so it would be like stealing it from them too...

It was stolen in Sweden by some low life... probably is on some hill-billy farm somewhere in sweden, or sold for 30 bucks to buy drugs...

Goes around and comes around...

Take it easy,

Hammer.
