Stolen Bike Manchester - Black Tricross 2010

[Rob M]

Sorry didn't know where to put the post - maybe admin can move it if its in the wrong place?

My bike is stolen Was up in Manchester for the day and off its gone.
Was locked up in the Didsbury (Outside the library about 2:45 Saturday) area for about 10 mins while I nipped into a shop.
I just completed Lands End to John o Groats on it so it has a special place for me. LeJog Blog

Specialized Tricross - Black - 54cm
Frame has black reflective tape all over it, including over the word Tricross
Black Brooks saddle - Has a scuff on the top near the nose (from changing tyres and forgetting to cover it)
Black mudguards and silver pannier rack (Which has 4 black spokes taped to the underneath)
Has a pair of slightly rattly flat pedals on and the middle gears (rear cassette) are skipping.
Wheels are shod with Schwalbe Marathon's (25mm (might be 2 pro at the back, 23mm (might be 25) standard on the front)
Also has a cheap wired Trek speedo attached, or did!
Has a CTC sticker on it near the crank too!

If any spots it or bits of it on ebay / gumtree whatever I'd love to get it back and would be happy to give some cash incentives!

Thanks
Rob

Sorry to read that. As i live in the area , i though i would post.

Unfortunately, Didsbury Library is the bike theft hotspot of Didsbury. I've always been tempted to lock my bike up there and walk across the road and wait for the scum to start touching the bike so that i can 'tap' the person on the shoulder....

Get yourself down to the local scrapyards. Most bikes are stolen to be weighed in.

But be careful; some of the people there are not the kind to accuse of theft.

I'll keep an eye out mate. A lot of the time unfortunately they are used for someone to get home and then shortly after they end up in the nearest watercourse. :evil:

I know it's a long shot, Rob -- but if you search eBay for "Specialized Tricross" and click on "Save this search" at the top of the results page, you can get an e-mail everytime someone lists a Tricross for sale.

It'll cost you nothing in time or money and you never know -- you might just catch the shitbag who nicked your bike red-handed... :x
