So, 16 months ago my 24 Moon was stolen from the front of my work in plain sight, full view of my work and in broad daylight. I filed a police report, posted around on a couple of different forums trying to get it back, but after one small lead the trail went cold.
Fast forward to this morning on the way to work. Being a bike head I check out everything that looks like it might be quality or drool-worthy but I didn't expect my Moon to be being ridden along the footpath as i looked out the window! My girlfriend pulled over, i jumped out of the car and chased the guy down. Anyway, turns out he's a lovely guy and his dodgy mate sold him the bike. Sounds pretty suss, but he didn't put up any resistance whatsoever once i'd told him the bike'd been stolen and i could 100% prove it was mine. Gave him $20 for a taxi to work and we parted ways. Stoked!
Here's some pictures:
Ratty as! Definitely going to have to get some paint stripper.
Apparently they didn't know how to use a Maxle. It'd been tightened all the way down while closed...ALL the way down. Not budging
Like...ALLLLLLL the way down.
It's in pretty shitty condition at the moment, but I don't see why I shouldn't refresh it a bit and have 2 24" park bikes The wheels are in stellar condition! Fruck knows where the bike's been kept and what sort of abuse it's been put through, but both wheels are still 100% true and tight and the hubs are running preeeetty sweet, surprisingly!
Anyone know how to get the maxle out? Haha.
