Melbourne rider reppin brixton cycles!

I can’t believe I’m reposting this. Reference to a post from 20 days ago (https://www.lfgss.com/comments/17238531/)

Well my pal just got back from visiting me in Australia a few days ago. Picked up the e-bike from the police station. Was absolutely delighted to be reunited with the bike, and also jet lagged, left it in the car. Within hours someone broke into the car and nicked the bike (now in the Peckham area)
Hoping it gets abandoned by the thief, again. As the wheels are pit-locked, obviously they won’t have a charger for it. If anyone sees it please get in touch.

A little good news story from previous post on behalf a pal of mine (https://www.lfgss.com/comments/16982527/)

Just received an email from the police the bike has been recovered now

Posting on behalf a friend who's not on here.
Had her Ribble CGR ALe (grey/orange colour scheme) stolen outside of Glass mill leisure centre, Lewisham, today (17.05.23) sometime between 10:00-11:30. There is a tracker on it showing it is in a high-rise block of flats.
Police informed, etc. not much hope with them actually doing anything though.
It has Pit-Locks on the through axels so it'll be very difficult for the thief to remove the wheels.
Will try and get some pics of the drive side when my pal is back home.

Hi Hippy,

Sorry for the late reply. Currently packing up my life, slowly, as I depart in over a month now.
I decided not to ship anything ahead, I found a great deal with China Southern airline, which allowed me to add on extra luggage relatively inexpensively. ~US$175 for additional luggage all the way to Melb.
So I'm just going to bring it as additional luggage, packaging it in a box from my LBS.

Hi JB,

Thanks for the info. I've checked out Bikelfights and they're quoting +$1000. Not sure if thats right. Both sites are based in the USA. and ShipBikes aren't currently doing quotes as they switch over to UPS :(

Will take on board the packing tips though :-) thanks.

Hi everyone,
Looking to ship my bike over to Australia in June when I will be moving over there. Just a one way trip for the bike. Been checking out luggage mule (quoting ~£300) and Send my bag (quoting ~£120).
Does anyone have any experience with these couriers? or can suggest a preferred courier? Is there specialist insurance cover I can take out?

My bike is a 2020 trek emonda SL6 disc. Not sure what the value of it would be today its seen a fair few miles but I've kept it in great condition and service it regularly.

My query is, should I risk boxing it myself (just perusing through this forum there are some horror stories from some experiences with boxing and bagging) or can I rent/hire a hard case bike box? Anyone have any recommendations appreciated.

Thanks.

Heya sorry, I’ve been stupid busy. I’m free Thursday to collect if available still.

Thanks motoko, this is really helpful.

Everywhere seems to be sold out and won’t be in stock for a long whiiiile. Anyone know any sly shops that might have some in stock or have some kicking about they’re willing to sell?

My girlfriends bike was stolen today from University Hospital lewisham, Catford, where she had just finished a 12 and a half hour long ass shift.
It’s a 2017 Ridgeback Supernova disc, silver/grey with a pannier rack on the rear. It’s a pretty standard hybrid but in good nick, hydraulic disc brakes, with a few superficial scratches on the frame and an old Aberfeldy triathlon sticker on the seat post. First pic is from a few weeks ago, badly cropped barely in frame. Second pic was taken shortly after it was first bought
Anyone in the lewisham or SE London area please keep an eye out.
Cheers.

PM'd you

Hey mate! Fantastic news!
I had my trek Edmonda sl6 nicked from my work in Vauxhall, very close to Vauxhall park. Funnily enough got a call from the police on the 16th saying they got a guy who v.likely was the one. I am suspecting it’s the same dude. Pleased you got yours back unfortunately haven’t heard anything about my bike, it was nearly a year ago now.

Is the 53 cm still available?

Still available?
