Just walked outside to find both bikes missing from the garden. Still trawling ebay / gumtree, and more sentimental value than street value.
One is a fixed OTP kona paddy wagon - 2008 version with the yellow deep v wheels. Drop handlebars with matching yellow tape, and I stripped off the brake levers and put a single brake lever in the middle of the bars. Removed the flip-flop hub too, so it is somewhat customised. No photos that I can find right now.
The other was a decathlon racer - full 105, triple ring, carbon forks. Had no pedals on at time of theft. This is more sentimental than valuable for sure.
Both were locked up - the fixed wheel with a Fahg mini, the racer with an Abus chain and padlock. Behind a padlocked garden gate.
Truly gutted. Police e-mail next on list.
