Mike Hendershot is looking for his bike. While riding in New Zealand his $10K custom Santa Cruz mountain bike was stolen and apparently there are only 10 bikes like it in the world. Mike is a world-class ultra-distance racer, you’d think he’d have at least one spare 😉

If you happen to find the bike or know where it is, there is a reward…
