   Hi all,

   Just had my bike stolen off the back of the car on Denmark Road in Norton/Gleadless about an hour ago. If anyone happens to see it I'd appreciate a heads up so I can let the Police know:

   Orange 5 (2008) frame in orange, serial no: NH894507
   White RockShox Sektor forks
   XT Chainset
   XT Mechs
   XT Brakes, 180/180
   Hope Pro II hubs
   Mavic XC717 rims in black
   Silver Thompson seatpost
   Sunline V1 bar in silver
   Black Charge Spoon saddle
   Silver Salsa QR seat clamp
   Silver Shimano SPD clip pedals

   Personalised topcap: orange coloured metal one with "Happy 40th Kingo" written on it.

   Swingarms got a couple of stickers on it; a Hope flag, Live Simply and a Giro emblem. Top tubes got a Squirt lube's sticker on it.

   Had you been followed do you think? where had you driven from?

   Don't think so, I was picking a mate up at his place and as I arrived there were some lads/kids on the road. Suspect they waited until I'd gone into my mates house (was a while as I was early and sat in the car using my phone for about 10 mins) and had off with it from the locked bike rack.

    will keep my eyes peeled in the Midlands.

    Looks like they prised the clamp that goes on the top tube enough to get the frame free, damn thing was locked too.

    Thanks. Think it was nicked for fun by a local teen/kid rather than someone that'll actually use it but you never know.

    Hi, final bump for the weekday shift.

    I'm not far away in Meersbrook so I'll keep my eyes open too.

    I suspect it's now further up Gleadless Road being ragged around the estates and woods up there. I just hope the people riding it appreciate a good bike when they ride one!
