Stolen - Merida Slick Rock - Brisbane

[Ray Cowburn]

guys, sorry to start with a bad news story but...

I built this bike up from bits & pieces...probably would have been
cheaper to buy a new one...

If you see it "for sale" please let me know...

Color: Burnt Orange & Matt Black Black RST forks Shimano Altus
(front & rear)

I'd love to get this bike back.

Probably would have been better to email Ray direct rather than post to
this NG and potentially tip off the thief...

Dear Chris & Andrew,

Thanks for your replies... The Ebay Merida was similar but not
it...bummer.

...as far as "tipping off the thief", if they've advertised it on Ebay,
they and it would be pretty traceable - unless they ditched it... I'm
inclined to think that if the community talks up stolen goods (in
general) they get harder to shift for the thief.

Have a quick check on e-bay. I remember seeing something about a Merida
with "Burnt Orange" paint or something yet the photo showed a Black and
White Merida

My apologies. I've just re-hashed old ground. Should have read all the
posts first. BTW I re-checked and that bike has just been re-listed.
(Same specs though)
