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.
