I saw this TODAY and there is a thread a bit back sating they had seen it too. it was spotted down by greggs at bottom of the moor a week or so back and I saw it today outside CEX opposite McDonalds at bottom of fargate.
there were 2 other kids with the one on your bike, one was on some random halfords special, the other i couldn't quite make out, maybe something like a carrera but it looked to have on one style carbon forks on it.
3 typical chav looking kids.
Mine was only pinched last night, so last weeks was a different bike. Thanks to all who are keeping 'em peeled (as Shaw Taylor used to say).
Fingers crossed.
A
oh, well, one of the 3 was a Trek
Cheers chap, thanks for looking, and please don't stop. It's gonna be those gore ride-ons that mark it out from the rest I recon?
have a good weekend, riding anywhere nice?
A
it was the people riding it and where they were that made me notice them not so much the cables.
what colour is / was it? its missing from your original description.
It's the stock black w/ white graphics. White Fox fork and white V12s. Also the muppets forgot to take the seat post and saddle, so god knows what's there> I would expect to see it for sale without saddle in the next few days at a car boot, second hand shop or similar.
So ifa nybody does see it, I just wanna go and buy it. Gotta be cheeper than a replacement.
Have a good day, lovely weather for it 😮 )
A
Well, I guess it's gone then. Hope it ended up at a good home and not as some sods pub bike.
So, if you were replacing an '08 Fuel EX08, what bike. As small a frame as poss, short arse!
A
i'm guessing due to the frequency of notices on lampposts you are based in the lower Walkley area.
I'm in Sheffield, i'll keep an eye put.
If you don't mind saying, where was it stolen from?
likewise i'll keep em peeled.
Thanks all, fingers still slightly crossed
A
PS yep, lower Walkley. Hillsborough Hotel is like a second home to me 🙂
A
Hillsborough Hotel is like a second home to me
only second? I'd happily move in there.
The rent's a bit much. A pint of HPA only lasts me about 15 min ;¬)
A
ps pint?
i saw a youth round your way on a bike that had been sprayed black without even bothering to take the wheels off, surefire sign of theft.
kept an eye on him coming up the road thinking it was going to be yours then spotted it was a hardtail.
if you can do HPA in 15 mins I'd have to go on shots to match that
