3 bikes stolen

Sorry to hear that Nigel. I too have recently built up my own bike and can only imagine the despair at knowing your rig is gone. That would suck big time. Hopefully someone notices your bikes around and catches the scumbag(s) soon.

Sorry to hear about your lose.
Hope they catch the f*^kers.

Sorry to hear about the bad news. Real bikers would not buy them and use them on a track. But my friend got his bike stolen from the local kids and found his bike in bits on ebay as a quick sale on a knock down price the next day.
Good luck and if you are insured happy shopping! Shame about your wife's engagement bike. It did not have a diamond lodged somewhere in it?
And post some photos on here.

Diablos are rare around as are most jamis's
that sucks
will keep an eye out

Kurt

Yep, so are Diabolos with non 1.5 headsets - it was a bastard to get that installed cos of the butting in the headtube blocking the headset remover.

There were no diamonds in the Trance, but that's how I knew my wife was the one. I gave her the choice between the bike and a ring. She went for the bike.

I'll put pics up tonight.

Bike or the ring and she went for the bike.....priceless. Sorry about your misfortune, I'll keep an eye out for them on the trails. Mick

none so rare as a mrs that will except bike over ring though lol! but my condolances too mate that really sux, im guessing you didnt have insurance but for future i can recommend western qbe, covers you for a bloody low cost ($110 for me p.a. for a $6500 coverage) prob not what you want to hear but its worth it..(i dont work for them by the way!)

man ill keep an eye out all so as we sell jamis they may try to off load it.

Sorry, I couldn't figure out how to link photos to this thread. But here are some I put up in farkin (my first post there too): http://www.farkin.net/forums/showthread.php?t=140762

Like I mentioned there, $1000 to whoever can get me those bikes back.

I actually had good luck with this one. I went for a night ride on Wednesday and left my Superlight in the van, so the bastards didn't get that one.

i know its not the perfect answer but

what if she'd said "i'll take the ring" (meaning engagement ring, not any other form of ring).

then you'd be stuck with a fiance who you know isn't the one and have wasted a shed load of money on a ring.

good luck with the bikes though.

Pictures of the thief have been placed here: http://www.farkin.net/forums/showthread.php?t=141017

Mathew Reilly
stole your bikes

sorry
looks like him hey

I would have to say that is no crime of opportunity. He knew exactly what he was going for and where to get it.

I would blow up those pics and do some A4 fliers to plaster all over your building and telegraph poles / bulletin boards in your surrounding area. Also float them around all of your lbs just on the off chance some one there knows him.

Good luck mate

They often run stories of local petty crime (Manly Daily does anyway) and they love pictures to go with stories.

That's really crap to hear I got a cheap bike stolen and i was heart broken. I now take my bike security really seriously. The great bikes live inside (got a 2 up rack). The cheaper bikes are outside, locked with 3 different locks.
Hope you get to see your bikes again!

Another approach to get your bike back...
