Stolen from City Tower bike store, Manchester city centre, between 12-2pm, 10/02/10.

My commuter bike was one of several stolen from work today. The bike store is out of sight above street level and covered by CCTV. Cheeky f*ckers. It was locked up but the thieves had bolt cutters and apparently got away with three other bikes. I was advised that they'd got away with a few more bikes a day or so ago(?!).

Any info leading to its recovery would be much appreciated.

My bike is/was:

– an early model small grey Specialized Sirrus
– Mavic Aksium wheelset, silver – brand new (just two days old!)
– Specialized 700CC Armadillo tires.
– Deore brake levers (lefthand black, righthand grey)
– Deore brake callipers, black
– Shimano PD-M520 clipless pedals, black
– Tiagra rear derailleur
– Richie bar and seatpost (bit worn)
– Specialized grips
– SKS rear mudguard
– Blackburn Mars 3.0 rearlight
– Cateye HL-EL130 Front Light

Thanks for reading.

I'd be grateful if any Manchester Singletrackers could keep their eyes peeled. It wasn't a bling bike but it was a good and trusty workhouse.
