Some bell-end nicked my mountain bike (GT Sanction) from my garage last Saturday night, 8th Sept. Near Victoria Park, Hackney, London. So keep your eyes peeled... it may appear built or as separate parts for sale - the whole thing was in pieces in my garage while I resprayed the frame that day. They took the lot.
The pic has been badly photoshopped to grey, as that’s the colour it now is, halfway through its sprayjob. Keep yer eyes peeled for something built up like this.
They must be planning on a rebuild as they returned the following night and nicked my f*cking workstand and tools! Luckily I’d moved all the other bikes that where locked in the garage, into the flat, so they were safe.... I recon they were coming back for those. However, it was completely in pieces - pivots, bushings, BB, gears brakes everything off for a full strip and rebuild. I doubt the thieving toe-rag(s) are gonna have a clue how to rebuild it, or the tools.
GT Sanction, size large. Matt grey. No stickers (i had new ones to apply post spraying :( )

I don’t hold out much hope of seeing it again. But worth a punt sharing on here.
