They are after the shifters which they know sell well.
Have seen quite a few in the past couple of months, photos below of one of which the handlebar, stem and shifters were nicked from Hoxton.
How the cables were cut indicates that the culprit had quite some time to cut them off. Pair of scissors perhaps?

@coventry_eagle Unfortunately this seems to be getting worse. We have 4 bikes in the workshop awaiting new parts. This is the latest batch. In the past 6 months I think we've had to replace the front end of around 10 bikes.

@charliem
Had the handlebars, hydro shifters & rival 1 RD nicked off my arkose at some point today, was locked up outside UCLH. No idea if they knew what they were getting or just instinctively knew to filch the priciest bits 😤
