let's see this through to the sweet end - what can we all do to help? This is the pic on the rapid descent website. Bike on left. It's definitely the same.

As much as enjoy watching a bike theif get hunted down, perhaps this thread needs to disappear to not tip off the thief?

Well done - That's it mine's being badged a 959.

Time to get hold of Hammer & get the Police in?

ive just sent the guy that posted the pics a message asking him if theres any possibility of the frame coming up for sale, if i get a reply that doesnt include the words `no it was stolen from him a few years ago` then we could be in business.

Ive just read back through my posts from last night and feel a bit uneasy. There's a strong hint of The British Justice System in there - Guilty until proven innocent $:-\$ . Even though it does look bad, Id like to find out that my first conclusion is wrong and there is a perfectly innocent and logical explanation for this. I hope so.

jeffhop · « **Reply #22 on:** May 20, 2009, 08:58:50 am »

which is why ive asked the guy some innocent questions.

orange · « **Reply #23 on:** May 20, 2009, 08:59:40 am »

if you guys want this thread to disappear - just let me know and I'll wave the magic wand...

jeffhop · « **Reply #24 on:** May 20, 2009, 09:53:00 am »

i would be very surprised if the guy in qusetion knew about this forum as he didnt have a clue about either the 959 or the 857 in the pics!

ITS OK FOLKS

I texted Mikey and yes, it is his bike but we're glad to say thet he still has this one and still rides it! If, however you see a 959 with grimeca brakes on it and the newer marzocchi (not bombers) then please get in touch!

ah well i tried

mind u could have just told us on here without making me look like a bit of a tit on bikeradar

Hello Detective-heads.....

Oh my gawd.... you are an excitable bunch aren't you?

First and foremost, I haven't looked at the pictures cos I am firewalled, but callum tells me that the 959 has B4 brakes on it.... so it's not the stolen one, it is the one I still have.

The stolen one didn't have the racing green website on the swingarm either...... or course, it is possible that as I have been away from home for a week that the bikes have been stolen during the past few days....... but as soon as I saw the Name nicklouse.... i couldn't stop laughing.... Nick is one of my closest friends in sweden.......... and as honest as the day is long.

So lets have a BIG UP for Nick..... and also an ENORMOUS THANK YOU to all of YOU.............. keep your eyes peeled... the stolen 959 will turn up one day.

Same wheels as the one pictured here, grimeca brakes instead of the gold formulas, marzocchi forks... the later longer travel type, not Bomber Z2's.....

Keep looking people... first one to find it can keep it in exchange for a beer...... ;-)

Mike aka Hammer aka Conkers (for some reason I am knows as conkers now and cant remember my Hammer login password combo)

Take it easy............. hammer!
