Madison, UK importer and distributor for Commencal bikes last night had a break in, the scum bags took a number of bikes, most 2010 prototypes, one a 2009 production model.

The bikes are as follows:

2010 Supreme Racing (that's the 2010 version of the Mini DH NOT the full on DH model.
2010 Meta 6 complete bike.
2010 Babylon hybrid
2009 Supreme DH WCS, the Athertons replica. Only 15 of these in UK.

For the 2010 models, they're the only ones in the UK, official stock not due for another 6 weeks yet. Also they're prototypes, so might not actually work correctly! They were put together for display and pictures only, not riding.

If you see or hear about any of these please call Steve in Real Cycles on 02890 814914 or email steve@realcycles.com

I'd guess from the face they got several bikes that it was a planned raid and they had transport, so getting in was probably the least of their worries.

Madison deal with a load of brands was anything else non Commie stolen Steve?
Maybe if so a list of some of the other more distintive stuff might help snare the little bar stewards

Erm not really,well they didnt used to anyways! Im pretty sure it was madison (i could be mistaken) that used to have a small warehouse (prob quite big for them back in the day tho) in my neck of the woods back i'd say around 12 or so years ago?? I seem to remember them leaving the keys in the front door one wknd ...all wknd!
They are just lucky that the area wasnt a rough one and not many people go around the area where their warehouse was located.

...Quick go for it now, before your brain catches up with your balls !
