If anyone sees a custom green Kona Kula Deluxe, details are on the link. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2964#post-31496 Tue, 17 May 2011 12:21:31 +0000 crowriver 31496@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Tragic story. I wonder how sturdy the locks were on those bikes. Picardy Place is a bit more like bandit country than leafy Haddington. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=2964#post-31492 Tue, 17 May 2011 11:55:52 +0000 chdot 31492@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><a href="http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/How-could-anyone-steal-the.6769677.jp" rel="nofollow">http://edinburghnews.scotsman.com/topstories/How-could-anyone-steal-the.6769677.jp</a> </p>
