The heckler has been spotted in Bradford and Droylsden. Apparently there are links between the two areas, probably drug related?
Anyhow still on the look out.
Bump
Keeping it going. Downhill season starts tomorrow so look out for Tomac please
Keep your eyes out peeps
No news as yet. Keep looking as both bikes were quite unique.
gutted nothings come up for ya 🙁
Cheers Andybrad. A couple of sightings but seems to have vanished...as they tend to do!
Easter weekend please keep your eyes open
And again.
The Tomac is quite distinctive!
As is the Heckler with full Kashima Fox, white and black Selle flow seat, blue raceface atlace bars with white push on raceface grips, blue superstar ceramic headset, 203mm hope saw tooth discs in black, reverb with Ali collar. Rock shox sticker on back of seat tube, DT Swiss ex5.1 on black hope hubs and continental vertical tyres ...
Keeping it going.....
Good luck mate
Spoke to my B-i-L about mine today - he's a Leeds copper. Reckons if they're going up to the Edge then they've got a buyer lined up already. Those lads have a steady stream of customers all over the North and it'll have ended up outside of West Yorkshire
They don't get broken up tho - but taken to Liverpool and Manchester and sold on as-is. Keep an eye out on gumtree and eBay and pinkbike for a second sale in a few months or wait and see if some scrote gets pinched riding it
Gutted for you as well and impressed yer still posting. Nice one cos it keeps me checking as well
Cheers tmb467. Apparently the heckler was spotted in Droylsden and there are links between Thorpe edge and Droylsden already... Probably drug related. I didn't get an insurance pay out to cover anything near the bikes values, so I need to get the bikes back... But more than that, I want to know who's been in my garage!!!!
Hope yours turns up too.
Still looking
Steel4real - think i may have seen your friends giant this afternoon in bierley (only a few miles from drig where you said it was stolen from). Young lad no older than 15 was cycling down bierley lane.
Cheers Jaylittle, good spot, I've let Marcus know.
Keep your eyes out peeps
Jay & Fieldy - thanks very much for your emails. We work on the Euroway so where Jay spotted the bike is quite close by, we'll drive round there a bit over the next few days.
Thank you once again for taking the trouble to email me as I could well have missed the posts on this thread,
Cheers !
Bierley eh?? That's mighty close to me is that. Will definitely notice it if I see it go over make conversation with whoever is on it. See what comes of it.
I'll keep driving through en route home from work. Think i said the second mini roundabout but it was the 3rd near the parade of shops that it was sighted.
Fingers crossed.
Let us know of any updates......
Another bike nicked in West Yorkshire. 🙁

Hi All, any sightings etc please let me know.
I'd forgotten about the Giant that steel4real posted up - I have a vague feeling I might have seen that the other day (I work in Drig). I'll be more vigilant!
fieldy - I do keep looking for yours every time I ride to work, obviously I haven't seen it 🙁
Have you had a look up in Tong woods round the "downhill" stuff?
An apple green (very new looking) Orange 5 with white forks went past me at the weekend in New Farnley; quite sure not the genuine owner.
Woody2000, appreciate the help, keep searching buddy.
Bearnecessities, I've seen that bike too, but looks legit to me.
Thought I might as well repost as it's the downhill World Cup at fort william
Anyone seen mg Tomac?
A bit tedious I know ............ but I want to get these back!
ditto.....
Really need to pack this in and move on. It's almost a year to the day. but still have a glimmer of hope of finding these!
I'm still posting mine as stolen on Pinkbike...don't give up mate
UPDATE: The [b]Heckler[/b] is back!!!!
Taken off someone riding it near Tong, 15 months after it went missing.
Almost all the original parts on, but it has not been well looked after, with some broken parts.
Sorted everything with police and insurance company, both of whom have been superb!
Now needs fettling to get it back to how I want it.
Stilll got the white [b]Tomac Primer[/b] downhill bike missing which could still be around the area; Esholt woods, Post Hill etc please keep your eyes out for this....it is a rare bike. Fox 40 forks, Mavic 729 rims on red hope hubs with red 203 hope rotors, hope M6 brakes (3 bore caps on each caliper) RF diabolus crank,bars and stem, Nevegal tyres.
Slowly slowly catchy monkey. Great news.
Great news! Didn't go far then did it, I'll be keeping my eyes open in Drig still.
Time to repost this maybe

OK...I'll bite - how exactly was it "taken off somebody"? We've had the good news - now the juicy bits please!
No real juicy bits. A few exchanged words, confirmation of serial number, option of police or bike....He didn't fancy police...made off towards New Lane...and apparently I'm a w@nker? ?
Good news that it finally turned up! 😀
Excellent news.
Great news.
but I am sure the scrote will be looking for another bike to nick soon enough.
Be vigilant!

Good Fieldy even if they're not in great condition.
I think you need to spend some time looking round the Holme Wood estate for the Tomac if the lad disappeared down New Lane.
Fieldy, that's great news, I remember your original post.
Had your insurance already paid out? Just wondering how these things work - would have expected it would belong to them if they had, or did you come to some arrangement with them?
Cheers
Well done
Chris Akrigg had his van with a bike in it stolen from outside his house in Keighley. Think it was on Thursday
Glad to hear you got the heckler back.
Nice one fella - may have a drive around there myself to see if mine is there
Friendly people in there so I should be ok if I find it...
Cheers guys.....felt like I was being a right pain in the @rse reposting all the time.
Think Holme wood is definitely on the radar now Craigxxl
Had an arrangement with insurance company to give me first refusal....had to pay them back, but at least I've got the bike. Need to spend a bit to get it right again....main components intact.
Now that we found this one, we think the other will not be far away? Especially around the local downhill spots.
