Stolen bike - update

[Evan Andreou]

Looks like having friends pays off.

 

Mr PV, a part time hubber, has organised me a loan bike and Alexander Lamberts from Bester Cycles has managed to get me a Cannondale Six 13 at a give away price, cannot wait to get back from holiday.

 

Thanks guys

[Tumbleweed]

nice to hear that you're sorted, wolfie! well done to mr pv and bester cycles!

[Evan Andreou]

Would still like to find my old bike though, but the prospect of a new(ish) bike is pretty appealing

I'm glad you got sorted Wolfie

Welldone to everyone that is helping to get you back on the road.

 

How will the 'dale compare to your previous bike...spec/weight looks wise. That Orbea of your was a really nice looking bike.

[Tumbleweed]

always best to get you own back.

Your Orca been stolen!

 

There is not a lot of guys that will fit on it and it isn't such a commen frame.  Pos a pic so that if it surface someone may be able to ID it.

[Evan Andreou]

The 'dale is a copper colour, dura ace specced with American Classic 420 wheelset, looks-wise it will probably grow on me, weight wise should be pretty close.

All in all I cannot complain, also got a very reasonable repayment arrangement with the owner.

 

Will build a new record groupset over the course of the year, but will endure the shimano in the meantime

I know what you mean HR. I have been there before myself.

When you sell a bike, it's a decision that you make and you move on, but when your bike is stolen you never really get over it. It's like catching your GF/wife sleeping with someone else

Speaking of theft -- House was broken into & vandalised last week --- small electronics/clothing taken etc ...... Of all things they even took my Heartrate Monitor off the bike .......... !!!!!

 I know what you meen. 

 

The AM 420 may be a bit flexy for you.  They have a weight limit of around 120kg if I remember correctly but the spoke count is a bit low.  I must add I am extremely impressed with my AM?s. <?: prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

 

I hope you enjoy your new bike.

too true. i had a gt zum - or zaskar urban machine, the commuter bike - and it was the first one brought into this country. when that got taken, i struggled to deal with it. i was sooo peeved.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Congrats on all the people making deals for you. Lets hope the new bike is a temp until yours comes back home.
