Stolen Bikes from Rocky Mountain

(message from Marshall Cant)

Our pro team trailer was broken into and many things were stolen. 4 bikes were taken and a quantity of parts. One of the bikes is a new RM9 DH bike. It is toxic green and black, has super T's, disks etc., very distinctive. There are very few of these bikes in circulation. Anyone having information or if you think you have seen the bike, please contact Marshall Cant at Rocky Mountain mcant@unixg.ubc.ca
