Stolen out of van last night
Boyatt wood area
Xl green cotic Solaris
Hope flow ex wheels
Tech m4 brakes
Rockshox revelation forks black
3 x 9 set up xt rear mech
White flat superstar pedals
Garmin edge 200 on stem
Rockshox Reverb with charge leather saddle
Bike was pretty clean and a good example, I have got a frame number and the
Police are looking.
Please don't debate the stupidity or my lazyness of leaving it in my van- the wife beat you to it.
Just help me track it down- pitchforks at the ready
Photo to follow.

Oh blimey, that's rubbish. 🙁 Not far from there so will keep eyes peeled, sounds like a distinctive colour. Really hope you get some good news soon.
Thanks, police were helpfull and there is an initiative currently in force on cycling theft and it's fairly distinctive so I'm hopeful.
Glad the Police have been helpful. Is there a problem with bike theft in the area then? Any chance of posting a pic?
That's part of my frequent cycle commute. Will keep eyes peeled.
Will keep an eye out for it being local.
do you mind PM'ing me where you were parked?
the pc said the main issues are thefts from the local railway stations, but that these thefts are then fed into people who flog em on.

now has specialized tyres and a reverb plus garmin mounted on top of the stem
Just pop this back up if that's ok
oooh, that's fairly close to me though unless they're daft enough to ride it to the General I'm not likely to see it
Any idea whether they were after the bike (seems bloody unlucky if it's not normally in there) or just general thievery
think it was a horrible coincidence, i never leave it in there but got back from helping a mate move house absolutely poopered and needing to eat so i was lazy!
they took the stereo and gps too along with my garmin, oakleys and smashed my helmet in the attempt.
looking like the most expensive mistake i've ever made.
Will keep an eye out for you. Noticeable bike.
Cheers, chat with insurance company today- not sounding good.
For everyone's note I am insured with AXA - thought I had 2.5k cover, turns out they have imposed a 1k limit in the policy and in their words I'm 'underinsured' therefore it's not valid.
Gutted x2 now
Check your policy's people
@Lummox - push back hard on the under-insured thing - do not accept it, its a standard BS tactic to deny claims. Tell them you thought it was insured for 2.5k which is the correct figure.
"you thought" won't override any T's and C's though will it.
will keep an eye out round the forest
@allthepies - there is quite a lot of wiggle room, especially if there was a change in T&C's where you can argue the change was material but not sufficiently prominent. It really is a standard claims department tactic to claim under-insured, it's their job not to pay you or at least reduce payouts if at all possible. Even if they loose by denying and stalling the claim for 6-12 months they enhance their profits/reduce their losses.
Sorta happier development, have been referred to wheelies to cost up replacement, not sure if this means I will get a replacement but it's certainly more encouraging than earlier.
If I'm absolutely honest I just want my old bike back- it was ace 🙁
can i just bump this up, as i still pine for this bike and would love to recover it
