When your bike gets stolen it can often feel like the end of the world. You feel so helpless not knowing what has happened, why, and how it happened. Its easy to feel pretty down in the dumps about it all, and rightly so. You've just had part of your freedom taken away. The bike you saved up for months and even years for, the bike that gives you "you" time, the bike that gives you so many memories with your friends - taken by someone who decided to invade your privacy.
Non of us would be particularly happy in such situation and neither was Tanya Moores. Earlier this year Tanya's beloved Santa Cruz Bronson was stolen in the middle of the night. Tanya is a regular rider at the Hopetech Women rides and very popular among the female riding community. Mortified at the prospect of not being able to ride, Tanya took the plunge and got a replacement Santa Cruz Nomad. Tanya is by trade a paint sprayer, so if anyone could do an amazing custom paint job on the bike it would be her. Along with a good friend Tommy Armstrong the Canadian themed Juliana was born...
We like it a lot!
