Just got back from holiday to find some lowlife scumbags have nicked my Orange, my wifes Cube and my lads Spesh.

On the faintest chance could I ask locals to keep an eye out - specs are as follows:

Orange 5 is an 18 inch frame in chrome grey with white fox floats, blue Ck headset, blue skewers, hope pro 11 hubs and a cow print saddle- have frame number etc if necessary

Cube xms is a month old in black and red and standard - 17 inch frame

Spesh Hardrock is a 15 inch frame with fox vanillas in black and hope xc hubs

Just to add insult we had parked the wifes car in front of the garage and they have smashed a window to gain access to the handbrake to push it back so thay could jemmy the doors!

Any info would be greatly appreciated- my email is in my profile

Cheers

Pop

Will keep my eyes open but suspect that they will be out of the area. Sounds like a "pro" job from what they did. Obviously knew what was there and possibly that you were away. Very worrying.

Keep 'em peeled.

BTW - do you have frame nos. or any one off features that would ID your bikes?

Andy- like I said I have the frame details of the orange and I do know certain distinguishing features but its a case of when you divulge them so they dont get masked etc!
The cube was only bought from Goldtec weeks ago so is showroom condition- been used 3 times - my missus is in floods!

Pop I'm up that way so will keep an eye out. That Orange of yours wouldnt be too hard to spot by the sounds of it. Check the Sentinel if they're daft enough to post it in the classifieds on there.
Also might be worth having a drive round the usual chav haunts, knutton, cross heath, ches etc No offence if you live there of course just thinking aloud!

Feel your pain fella ๐Ÿ™

Just had the police round got a fingerprint off the car- here's hoping!
They left my roadbike- the police reckon its because there is little interest in roadbikes- unfortunately this was worth the least of all my bikes!
