Yeah, the thieves in England are apparently super pro. Fuckers.
I was hopeful that the 5000GBP reward would be worth more to them than two bikes they can't sell or part out, but that didn't work. We may get them back someday, but it won't be in time for the prologue on Friday and unfortunately with the holiday weekend, we couldn't even airship him replacements in time. Not giving up yet though, we're trying to piece together another bike for him from some super awesome customers (seriously, amazing) who snuck bikes over to Europe. It's all hands on deck, and I'm still hopeful we'll see him on the starting line.
edit: also, Lyndon's IG is probably the best place to get realtime updates. This wasn't the drama we planned, but I guess this is the drama we got!
