$10 K Bicycle Stolen from Armstrong's Mellow Johnnys

A very expensive Trek Equinox TTX SSL that costs $10,000 USD and that has the team member Ryan Baumann's name on the top tube and it's custom-painted Bontrager aero bars, has been stolen from the Lance Arsmtrong's bicycle shop, Mellow Johnny's, located in Austin, Texas.

Mellow Johnny's Manager Robbie Brennan said:
"...the theft is very disheartening. It's surprising, given the season. You know, it's Thanksgiving. It's more of a time for, you know, giving. So, we're all pretty bummed out that this happened," Brennan said.
Brennan also said that:
"...it is highly unlikely that whoever stole the bike can sell or pawn it. There are only 10 like it in the world."
Mellow Johnny's asked for help via Twitter
If anyone has any information about the bike, please, call store general manager Craig Staley at (512) 473-0222.

  2. Is it that easy to break into the bicycle shop?! No alarms, no security doors???
    Come on, and why only one bike, they are light enough to carry two bikes each thief.
    I don't know, this sounds fishy to me.

    If it's true, I hope they find it.

  3. It would be very hard for the thieves to sell this bike. I'm sure it will be recovered soon.
    Happy Thanksgiving to all.

  4. Good thing it was only a bike. If they had stolen some of the blood bags in the fridge it would have been a much bigger deal.

    You are pathetically frustrated. Envious of Lance Armstrong's success?
