Stolen Bikes have come out with some great completes lately. Some of them are completely specced with Shadow Conspiracy parts. We asked Stolen's Dave Wooten what the deal is all about.

What's the cooperation with Shadow Conspiracy on this bike?
Dave: Basically we (Stolen) spec'd the bike with John Jennings' input, he actually came up with the name 'Heater', which is gangsta for a hand gun. Shadow designed the graphics and we all worked together to come up with the color ways.

How did you end up working together?
Dave: John Jennings rides for both Stolen and Shadow. At Interbike last year George Hornig (Inopia) mentioned we should meet with Ronnie B. from Shadow to see if we can do something to help promote Jennings. I came up with the idea of making a high end complete that a pro could ride out of the box, pitched the idea to Ronnie B and he loved it. We all started working on it right after the Interbike show and had proto-types a few months later.

What colour combinations have you done on this project?
Dave: All the bikes have come with a black glitter frame and powder coated bars, forks and cranks. V.1: Black/Red (Sept), V.2: Black/Powder Blue (Nov), V.3 Black/Mint Green (Feb), V.4 Color TBA

People will want to know the weight of the bike. How much does it weigh?
Dave: The weight of this bike out of the box is 27.7 lbs (12.56 kg.)

How much does it retail for in the USA?
Dave: The minimum retail in the US is $579.99
