My buddy Toby Groenewald who runs Salvo BMX has had his bike stolen in Cape Town. The bike is a prototype (similar to photo above) and if anyone has any information on where it could be please drop me an email. Here is what Toby had to say about the theft: “My bike was STOLEN off the roof rack in Obs last night at around a 8pm. In all my years of being involved with bicycles I have never had a bike stolen from me. This is a very special bike and a one of a kind. Its like a baby being kidnapped from you. Your creation gone. So please look out for a Salvo. Its green with white parts as well as a very distinctive noisy Profile wheel set. Thanks- Toby”
