From Cycling News :
GT's intriguing Golden Bike series is set to kick off the first leg of competition at next month's Sea Otter Classic but one lucky 'winner' may have already taken home the prize.
According to GT marketing man Robb Zbierski, one of the company's specially finished GT Zaskar race bikes was lost in shipping last month - while the shipping label arrived at the intended destination in an envelope, the bike did not. In addition to the flashy gold paint job on the frame, the bike also features a custom gold finish on the Shimano XTR drivetrain, Mavic Crossmax SLR wheels, and Ritchey bar and stem.
Just as was the case with Lance Armstrong's stolen - and recovered - one-off Trek Equinox time trial bike, Zbierski is hoping the bike's distinctive appearance will hamper any potential illicit sale and will lead to a quick recovery.
Nonetheless, GT is offering a US$3000 reward for the bike's return.
