The bastard nicked it from my garage in Northland, Wellington - a few hundred metres from Revolution Bikes.

Blue Niner RIP Size L Frame. Fully-suspended 29er. Mushroom sticker on it from Revolution Bicycles. Manitou Minute 29 front fork, flat handlebars.

2008 model so the frame has a round cross-section to the tubing, not the flatter/hydroformed cross-section on the newer Niner RIP models.

Picture of me happy on my beautiful bike here:

Shitbags. Will keep an eye out for wagon wheel bits.

Any distinctive parts to keep an eye out for?

may death come swiftly for the culprit[s]

cunzors!
Nice bike, hope you had insurance?

We'll find it!

Thanks to all for the sentiments.

As for distinctive parts: much of the componentry is common, but also not worth a hell of a lot 2nd hand.

It's the 29er-specific bits stand out. A fully-sussed 29er makes the frame distinctive - they're quite uncommon. 29er front forks as described above.

Oli made the big 29er wheels and described them thus on his blog in March 2008 : "I also built these lovely 29er wheels using XT hubs and Stan's NoTubes ZTR Flow 29er rims, again laced up with DT Competition double-butted spokes to go on a lovely new Niner being built by Jonty at Revolution Bicycles. At 1990 grams for the pair they will be a durable and lovely to ride wheelset." (ah, the heart breaks to re-read it)

Fortunately insurance will pay. But still - grrrrr! It's my bike!
