    Sorry to hear about this Tim - not good at all.

    Any idea what time of day it happened - there might have been somebody walking/driving past at the time who saw something suspicious?

    Green Gary Fisher Mountain bike (NEW!!!)

    bloody hell, sorry to hear about that Tim.
    Have you noticed anyone hanging around the house over the past few weeks. Looks like they could have been watching to check out your gear. Are the bikes security marked in any way? any distinctive features?

    Horrific, very sorry to hear this, Tim.

    Was it just the bikes stolen? and seemingly gone for the best stuff? Either someone who got lucky and can spot a good bike or targeting by someone who knows you and your bikes.

    worrying for us all.

    This is sickening to read. It's obvious they knew what they were looking for.

    Hope you get some result.

    terrible news - bad luck mate - get descriptions of bikes on to as many websites and forums as possible (eg bikeradar, road cc, etc) - may also be prudent to post it on other cycle club forums (beds road, icknield etc etc) and perhaps speak to the local bike shops as whoever the lowlife was who nicked them might try and offload them at the local bike shops (trisports, pauls, etc etc)

  • Andy HartleyAndy Hartley
    Really sad to hear this news. I did highlight this in Trisports when i was there earlier, which may help if they get someone trying to sell on the goods.

    I hope they get the sxxts that have done this.

    Andy
  • IainFIainF
    That's crap Tim. Hope they catch the sods that did it. If you need a spare bike in the meantime we have a couple (low end spec in comparison I'm afraid)

  • skeldersskelders
    cheers boys for all your kind words... at least they didn't get my Brompton!!!

    Tim's Top Tip for the Day - chain your bikes to the floor!!! its worth the extra expense !!
  • skeldersskelders
    They were trying to nick one of my old ZIPP boxes... it was in the 'queue' of gear they didn't have time for, I so wish they had as it was full of 'Happy Street' kids toys!!
  • geoffggeoffg
    just got in to see this Tim...devastating news....bastards is too nice a term...will keep ears and eyes open...sadly sounds like they knew their value and probably have a bent receiver somewhere...sad day
  • Robbie LRobbie L
    Skelders. Sad to hear mate. Now you'll have to tell the wife how much they really cost. Gulp!
  • skeldersskelders
    Lol.... Good point... Yikes

    It's all about California now ;-)
  • Sam SSam S
    Skelders, really sorry to hear that, I know how much they meant to you. Look on the bright side though, you will be able to retire when the insurance money comes in!
  • carmelocarmelo

FU**ERS !!!
  • PeterGPeterG
    May be of no consequence, but apparently there are 'travellers' at Radwell at the moment.
  • nippernipper
    Anneka just got home from grasstrack and told me that Henry has had his bike stolen :(

    Really sorry to read this. I will put the word out locally.

    Death is too good for the thieves!

    Hopefully insurance will cover the loss but not really the point.

    when your walking your dog up the hill to bygrave puffing & panting you i mean not the dog the call of the road will ring loudly in your ears at this point you will grab your brompton and be hanging on the back of the nastie group once again.
    cycling is in your blood you will be back i will even lend you my fondriest to get started again.
    all the best.
    strappy.

    Hey Skelders, feel gutted for you. It does sound as though you were targeted.
    You can borrow my Pro-Machine for your big events if it fits. Pete
