Guttingly yet another bike stolen in Exeter.

Brand X "Trail" hardtail frame, built up with parts off here for about £600 so although it's not that flashy it was much loved! It is quite unique though so I thought worth a post and I will put up a picture when I work out how to do that.

It is:
Brand X "Trail" hardtail frame, 15 inch, grey, no branding on it except the Ragley CEN certificate on the down tube just in front of the BB.
Black Rockshox Psylo fork
wheels: Mavic 717s on hope XT hubs, Nobby Nics
Easton EA70 bar, Hope stem
Deore cranks and shifters, XT mechs, Juicy 3s.

This is my third such post in as many months I reckon. Becoming painful, this...

Aw, mate bad luck...

Have you got some pics you can put up?

Worth getting in touch with Sidwell Cycles as they are sometimes offered s/h bikes.

Will keep eyes open

Thanks folks. Will do all of the above. I've never posted a picture - is it easy to do from an iPhone?

Gutted mate, maybe me moving away from Exeter was a good idea after all these thefts over the last year of so. Good luck finding it, and the others

Gutted for you buddy - I'll keep my eyes peeled for it too.

Yup. Rachel's. From her shed in Mount Pleasant area. They cut through the bike lock. Second bike that's gone from that same shed so reckon someone's watching it or come back for more. I don't know how good a lock it was but it's a (another!) lesson learned...

At this rate I can keep the stw classifieds board going single-handed.

Gutted! Post a pic if you can, my BIL is local. He has started putting his bike in the house, I will get him to look out.

If all goes well, here is a picture...

If anyone does spot this I'd love to know, or I hope the police would.
