Keep lookin folk!!

Still no signs???

FunkyDunc – How long was it before they turned up on Ebay being sold in Middlesborough?

Keep your eyes peeled folks!

Keeping the search going!!

Just over the roundabout in Low Moor here so will def keep my eyes peeled.

That Tomac must be bloody rare!

Very rare..don’t think we’ll see that again!
Cheers for keeping a watch out at your side.

wyke in bradford is usually a reasonable place to look – sellers on gumtree and the bay located in that area

To be honest I don’t know the timescale involved.

I thought I saw my stolen bike on Ebay about 6 months after it was nicked.

Sorry to say I think your chances of getting yours back are very slim.

Cheers Rockhopperbike, I’ll keep a check.

Funky dunc, you’re probably right but I’ll keep the search going for a while just in case 🙂

If so and it’s being riden, then chances it’ll be spotted. I use the Asda in Wyke often.

Might be worth putting a wanted ad in the co op, chippies, etc…

Patriot pro, might have a look around Wyke! Been around Scholes and didn’t spot anything.

Still no joy…please keep a look out for these.

Cheers guys
Going to have a scout around this afternoon

I’ll keep an eye out and spread the word, Odsal area.

Shame I’m currently not able to ride.

Also a good idea to call all the local LBSs and explain what’s happened, ask them to keep an eye out for people with those bikes asking for resale value etc and if they don’t look like they fit the bike.

Looks like Shredder has spotted the bike today and it certainly sounds like mine.
Been over today but didn’t see it. If spotted please report to the police reference number 13130520925

Please help find these bikes.

In and around the areas, too and from work at all times of day as field based. So will keep scooting through them when possible.

Cheers Shredder, let us know of any sightings.

My eyes are peeled for you in Bradders, too. And the Mrs 🙂

I drive past Idle on the Calverley side a couple of times a week. Eyes are peeled, crime number noted.

Cheers guys

Hi All,
A bit of a shocker from the insurance company, as they are only going to pay out less than 30% of bikes value, my fault for not specifing apparently. A bit of a tough and expensive lesson!
Which now makes it more important that I get these bikes back, so any further help would be appreciated. Cheers.

Be worth getting in touch with this Facebook group fieldy – based Baildon. If your bike’s been seen in Thorpe Edge they’ll be well placed I guess?

https://www.facebook.com/groups/182195755295395/

Im a member of that FB group (although not been out with then yet) I’ll keep my eyes peeled although that areas not a place I or those guys bike about in.

Cheers Woody2000 and Darrenspink.
I’m not asking for anyone to get involved trying to recover the bikes other than letting me or the police know if they are seen. Don’t want anyone getting hurt.

Im in brighouse & will put the feelers out,not sure they would be local to u anymore pal.
They’ll off been moved on out of town by now i guess.

This is becoming an organised crime people are watching you people sard following you home from afar.
Do not go to your house if the car behind u has been following u a while pull up first & let them **** off.
Do not clean bikes on show if poss do it in a back garden etc.
Always lock them & keep them indoors a garage will not do, if her indoors doesn’t like it lock her in the garage instead & bring the bike in.
West Yorkshire is getting peppered with bikes been nicked & nearly all ive heard are stolen from shed or garage or locked up outside work .

Seems like organised crime, and Yorkshire appears to be getting hit bad.
One of mine is definitely near Thorpe Edge, Bradford as Shredder has seen it.
Need to work on a plan to recover it once it is in our sights??
And still, everyone is a suspect….

Anyone seen these bikes?

Was up that way at lunchtime and saw a shady character on a giant whilst holding a boardman presumably for a mate. He didn’t look like the type to be riding around on best part of a grand of xc hardtail…

Daveyboywonder do you think the police visit these areas often?

They are all over the areas regularly Brian.
Had a snoop round last night for you, will be in the same spots as last weekend this weekend.

fieldy – got a better picture of the Heckler? My mate lives Idle way and I want to send him a photo – he’s not a bike so telling him to keep his eye out for a white Heckler doesn’t really mean anything!
