Nicked from my garage in Horsforth on Monday night. Took the b*stards 90mins to get through the security but no-one saw or heard anything.

Yeti 575 (old model), black painted, small. Hope hoops, K24s, Fox 32vrlc 15qr
Voodoo Wanga copper colour, 17", singlespeed, Magura laurins
Speclalized hardrock WSD, blue with Toras, Hayes brakes and no rear rotor

Email in profile if anyone sees/hears anything.

Thanks for looking, Ric

Very sorry for your loss.

ill keep an eye open for you , i spotted a horrible looking specialized on xmas day thats been reunited

sorry to hear that mate i'll keep my eyes peeled when out and about.

sorry to hear they have been pinched.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you know it took them 90 minutes?

Let ed know rick he did a sterling job when jennys went missing. I will keep my eyes out

F***ers!
Will keep my eyes peeled but doubt they'll end up Otley end…

Hope they we're insured.

that's were not we're…. 😳

There's a group of scum that live down on the Hawksworth estate that rob bikes , a mate at work was offered a Marin that obviously was robbed last year when at a mates house(with his own bike) , his friend who lives there said the same lads were always on different 'quality' bikes.

I live near the train station and will keep my eyes open round here.

I'll keep an eye out around the centre and the uni.

Can you post up some pics so we know exactly what we're looking for?

Thanks guys 🙂

Will post up pics later.

If you don't mind me asking, how do you know it took them 90 minutes?

Neighbour's cctv caught them, police have the footage and are going to enhance it. Fingers crossed.

I followed the tyre tracks (Bonty Mud xs are fairly distinctive) through the woods up to the Silkmills estate (cookridge hospital way).

Question now is do I get another nice bike, as I figure they'll be back in a few months when they know the insurance has (hopefully!) paid up. We're planning to move house in spring so may wait until then

Go to boneshakers in Harrogate, tell em that you're gonna be in the market for a new bike soon and would like to test ride some of their stock. They'll take a CC number for insurance and charge you £45 to ride as many bikes as you like over the next however many weeks.

Loads of bikes (almost) no money, dont have to worry about theft. Buy a new bike from them in the spring.

Always having a quick looksy on Gumtree , could this be one of your bikes?

Have mailed you too.

Certainly looks a bit sus.

Thats what I thought , not much specific info when generally singlespeeds are a bit niche to most people

Worrying as I'm planning on moving to that bit of Leeds in the next year.

Is Horsforth/Cookridge really bad for bike thefts?

I live there and although I keep the good bikes inside ,the also rans are in the shed we've never had any problems.

deffo looks suspect but different forks..

that Gumtree pic also appears HERE

doesn't prove 'owt, but they could have just borrowed the pic, which would explain the forks being different.

I'd suggest no-one contacting the Gumtree seller just in case Ric wants to look into it further.

aluminium frame huh ; )

Cheers lads. Ad doesn't mention singlespeed either, which most people would mention if selling one. Might do a bit of digging into this

RicB , this is on gumtree again and this time the forks are mentioned , strangly enough they appear to be Magura Laurins!!!!

RicB ygm about ad on gumtree again.

http://leeds.gumtree.com/leeds/77/53752277.html

this time with real piccys.

I'd say that was Ric's. Right forks, singlespeed, bonty mud-x on the back, looks like it might be a USE stem too.

Sorry to hear they've gone Ric, but maybe there's a chance of getting the Voodoo back.

Good luck getting the Voodoo back. Hope you get the police involved in this one. That or the local rugby team…

EDIT perhaps this thread should be pulled, if the gumtree chap has any brains he'll be checking for the url of his ad popping up on forums.

It's been highlighted on the previous 2 times he's had it on gumtree I think we could quite safely say he can't be too clever.

if no one else can help – and if you can find
him – maybe you can hire: Jedi

Good luck

note to self; 'add landmine to garage'

ffs. they must be spying on what peeps round that area.

Gutted for you Ric 🙁

I've been keeping an eye on the adverts – police are aware and have been looking into it.

Thanks for the emails folks – nice feeling to know people are looking out for each other 🙂

Singlespeed now on ebay. Don't want to post a link but not too difficult to find.

Police say they can't access Ebay from work ffs!

buy it then go kick the sh1t out of them then strip them naked and tie them to a lamp post ill come help 😉 sorry to hear it anyways 😯
