My 2005 Rocky Mountain Flow was stolen from the Santa Monica Library on Friday October 12th. The bike was locked up to the communal bike rack early in the day and was gone at the closing of the library at 5:30.

There are a bunch of savages in this town.

Anyway, Here is a picture of the bike being ridden at a local spot.

If anyone has seen or has any information on this bike, I would greatly appreciate having that passed on to me.

Like I said, it is a 2005 Rocky Mountain Flow frame that is olive in color.

Other notable features:
-gold, specialized pedals
-shimano xt cranks
-2006 fox vanilla dropped to 4 inches
-grey sdg dirt jump seat
-and a diety stem

Also the front wheel is different from the back (a sun ringle s-type) with a reflector still in the spokes (safety first).

Thank you, in advance for keeping an eye out for my bike. As everyone here knows, it blows to have a bike stolen, but it blows even more when it is a jumping bike that the thieves won't know how to ride it correctly.

Bummer, hate to see this happen.

On a side note though, how many people does this have to happen to for people to learn? If youve got a nice bike, don't lock it up around town. It's just not worth the risk. A no more than 20 dollar investment in an old beater bike at a garage sale and problem solved.
