If someone tries to sell you a Black P7 with Marzocchi EXR pros and magura wavy louise(red lever - avid arch rival on the back) with black middleburn rings, bontrager front tyre irc rear on a deore flangeless hub
- it is STOLEN and you have my permission to TWAT THE SCUMBAG (only joking!?) - return of the bike would be very nice too - It was the best bike I've ever had.

Sorry to hear about that. My first real mtb, an Orange Aluminium O was stolen just when I'd finished building her up. I still miss her...

I hope the P7 was insured. Best of luck in getting her back - I'm in the wrong part of the world for it to turn up here but will keep them peeled...

Thanks for your Kind words, yes it was insured but the insurers are trying to wriggle out of it.

I had just finished a major rebuild/overhaul and it was about the best MTB I've ridden, One consolation though is that I hadn't ironed out the one last problem - only very occasionally(not saying exactly how and when just incase the scumbag is reading this) the chain would come off violently and catapult you at the bars - so if there's any natural justice in this world the thief will now be missing a few teeth!!!
