whats your budget?
use to be heavily involved with the WA bmx scene but after having 3 $2000+ bikes stolen it was too costly to persue (16yr old working at maccas) i know a fair bit about mountain bikes too so i can tell you what to look for and what to stay away from.
send me a pm if yah like...
Lee...
sorry to hear paul at least it was not more serious
a similiar thing happened to a mate of mine on the freeway last year his car was written off along with 3 others(Peak Hour)!
in my opinion they just attract unwanted attention, i have heard you are allowed them aslong as the globe aint showing, but i know people that have gota yellow even though they are out of sight :?
the spray doesnt work, my mate used it then went through a camera 10kms over the limit sure enough 4 weeks later he had a fine in the post....
total waste of money.....
