  • Hi All im new here... This will be my 3rd post so woooo!

    Anyway on Wednesday 24th June mine and my GFs bikes got stolen from just outside the IMAX at Waterloo.

    The bikes were locked together with over £250 worth of locks - the bikes were:

    1. Charge Plug Racer (Medium frame) with modified bullhorn handlebars taped red and small black and white finger brakes - the rest of the bike was as it was when purchased.

    2. Fuji Track 2008 (Small frame) with bright blue handlebars with black finger brakes and blue chain - everything else as it was when purchased.

    The locks were cut with a powertool - my guess is a battery powered angle grider - no many things stand up to those... :(

    Theft was reported to the police and insurance co were informed - insurance claim is in progress and hopefully I'll hear from them today with claim result.

    I did a bit of scouring the web gumtree and the like and also took a visited to brick lane but its like looking for a needle in a haystack...

    Hope the bastards die horribly!

    When I get a replacement via insurance or other i'll protect it with datatag, register and insurance and I have also shelled out for one Fug (kryptonite mini fug) and one Almax chain (16mm immobaliser) with one of their locks as advised on this forum... although I doubt i'll lock my new bike up anywhere other than at work from now on - not worth the risk!

    By the way this is my bike (its a post from my blog so hope you all don't mind!)

    So gutted - it changed marginally from that photo - the handles had red tap and the brakes were changed to small black and white finger brakes - I have a photo of those if it helps anyone spot my old bike?

    I have reported the theft to the police and insurance but would love the bike back - became so attached to it :(
