Hello Brad,
I been meaning to drop you a line for a while, to check in with you and to offer my support. Unfortunately I’ve been on the road quite a bit since the NAHBS show and have not had a chance to contact you. I heard about the break in from my wife, who heard about it in the news. I check eBay for bicycle parts on a regular basis and I’ve been keeping my eye out for anything with the Kirklee badge, and especially for that fantastic Van Gogh paint job. Whoever stole your bikes should get caught and punished. Really a low blow.
Sorry to hear about your loss. Having lost two bikes this year, i wanted to let you in on a website/app that is useful for searching for items listed on Craigslist and Ebay in both the USA and Canada. Good luck and I hope you find them both(bikes and thieves).
