Everything about Mountain Biking in the North East of England

My Orange Patriot STOLEN

On the way home from today's epic, I popped in to see a couple of mates.
When I came out 20 or so mins later, my bike was gone, along with the bungees.
I will put a full spec list up later.
Was stolen from the Newburn area of Newcastle, any help would be appreciated.

There are also various other pics of me riding it on here.
Cheers

Comment by Dave F on April 2, 2009 at 8:26pm: Hard lines geezer - know how you feel. Don't stop pestering the cops either - I saw an article in the paper the other day saying that Cleveland Police had donated a lot of recovered bikes to some kids home, so I wouldn't rely on them ringing you if your beast gets recovered!

Comment by gorehound on February 23, 2009 at 6:58am: Do you want he frame number etc posted on other forums so riders from farther afield can keep an eye on fleabay too?

It's sad that you can't leave anything that aint nailed to an immovable object without some scumbag scratter lifting it!!!!!
