There’s a bike on eBay if you look up ‘black mountain bike full of shimano bits’ it ends in 9 hours.
Something looks dodgy about it, starting with the front brake(s)

Wrong image? Dark blue with orange lettering. Surely even a tea leaf would know it’s worth more.

Just becauseyou needed to ask, that is all. 😉

“26 inch wheel size so its a big childs bike or a small adults” ? Haha

This is close to me perhaps I’ll get in contact with the seller. See what’s what.

I see it’s gone, hopefully not sold but at that price probably is

Still up. http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/mountain-bike/93854376

No owner come forward yet?

He’s taken it down again, but it’s a blue Ragley Mmmbop with white Fox forks, white rims and saddle, a gold stem (poss Hope), silver cranks and what look like Shimano DX flat pedals. Henleaze area.

gone again.

anyone take a screen shot?

^edit hmm did you get the contact details? Could pass them over to the police.

I emailed ‘Cameron’ via the gumtree mail. Did get a response of just a yes when i asked for more details. I didn’t reply then got another message from him saying its up for auction and for me to put my bid in. Dodgy as frak!!!

Screen grab;

The advert seems to be getting taken down and then put back up later. Please don’t contact the seller directly, he may get spooked and dispose of the bike. I’ve passed on the details from the advert, so if there’s a matching theft report it can probably be taken further.

Henleaze area.

So Southmead then? The known hub (pun intended) of Bristol bike theft.

Pic of the bike.

As someone on FB has pointed out, there may not even be a real bike at the address, it could just be someone trying it on. Be good to know who owns it regardless.

Andygreener, did the seller contacting you give an email address? If so, can you send it to me at bristoltrailsgroup@gmail.com Ta!

Mr Agreeable
are u the same person that i e-mailed about this from the stolen bikes bristol site?

Unfortunately not Mr only through the gumtree mail setup. I didn’t respond and have not heard anything.

Andygreener, no worries.

rp16v, yep that’s me. Feel free to email with any other spottings of fishy bikes. Also Deluded on here is a good person to contact, his email is larryj@hotmail.co.uk.
