HELP: GF Bike stolen :(

Hey guys,

I need help. We went out today and brought a bike for my girlfriend. After we bought a lock from decathlon, with some lights and a helmet. We quickly popped into the library at surrey quays to print something and when we came out someone had cut our lock and the bike was gone. She didn't even have it a day.

As you can imagine she was heartbroken. She sobbed and howled in the street. People thought id broken up with her.

We don't have much money, and thats why she was so sad. Because that was going to be our little thing and we saved to get it. We can't afford to get another.

This is why i need your help. Has anyone got an old bike or one that just needs tlc that i can surprise her with. I feel sick and my heart is broken for her. It doesn't need to be flash. It just needs to roll. Even if you'd like a little bit of money for it i don't mind.

The bike stolen btw was a black globe work in a small frame with a specialised seat and silver handlebars.

Can any one help us out in any way?

Thanks

Matt

That is truly shit. I don't have anything in anywhere near the right size but I'd be happy to help with bits from the spares box if that can help at all.

go to brick lane on sunday morning you might get it back

Heartbreaking. Utterly horrible that it went, and so quickly. Shocking tbat we have to buy at least two heavy, enpensive locks.

I really hope the forum can come up with something for you. Sorry I haven't got a bike for you but I have some various parts to offe if you want to build something from donated parts.

Maybe people here could start to offer possible parts to give you (or sell for very cheap, perhaps for frame or wheels).

have you got a pick of the bike.(even if its a web pick), i live in the area ill keep my eyes open, i reported two kids hanging around the library nicking parts off bikes, i chased them off twice but couldn't catch hold of them

PM'd...

So many feels :(

Thanks guys. my missus has been properly low all day but ive just shown her two messages of people getting in contact with possible bikes and we are truly touched by your help. Made us feel alot better, faith in humanity restored. :)

Amy was given a bike today by a very very kind member of this forum. She's now over the moon. We are both made up. Thank you community! Faith in humanity restored! :)

Well done LFGSS!

It really sucks that her new bike was stolen - but I am very impressed with all the forumengers rallying round. What an ace place this can be!
