Hi
Thanks guys. Will post pics.
The worst thing is my sons bike was custom built. I had cranks milled to make shorter ect. Small frame, full of carbon and xt.
We are both on strava.....could be linked.

Do you both have Strava privacy zones set around your home location ?

Sorry to hear about the theft.

you live in different houses but were both targetted on the same night?

Either as abovce, it's privacy on Strava or you did a ride together and were followed home?

We both have privacy zones set up, didnt see anyone follow us last night we live in the same house.
My son only got his bike back last night from the bike shop as it had this new frame fitted.
This is just my hack bike.
But I now wonder if someone has been watching us, they left my other sons bike and scooters etc.
Be careful out there....

Sounds like you've been targeted alright, as it looks like they knew what they were after. Seems to becoming alarmingly common

What part of the country are you in quintet?

Just checked, my sons account on strava was not a hidden location, could this have been a strava hit....

You could do with sorting the floor paint in the carport

I think folk are going to have start using aliases on Strava...even if you have the privacy settings on, it's not rocket science to search for someone's name for a given place.

I had 2 bikes stolen in Northampton on Monday night too.

Turner 5 spot with full XTR, Mavic Cross Max XL etc etc
And my wifes Specialized Myka

Strava location is hidden.

I think it was a local hit. Seen me riding and watched where I've gone...
