Folks, My new Canyon Strive was stolen on Tuesday night (13 November) 🙁

The bike is stealth black with white rims - please keep your ears to the ground, there must be very few of these around.

It was stolen from the Glasgow area and was spotted in the Barras the next day by a friend! So it has been seen... Fingers crossed.

Thanks

Rich

Folks,

I'm wondering given the apparent hug upsurge in bike thefts, how are these knicked bikes typically sold on?

The stupid end of the spectrum thief I guess will advertise on ebay, gumtree etc.

The cleverer thief? Local papers? Local shops and supermarkets?

Given I am looking for what is a relatively rare bike in the UK, I am hopeful it will turn up....

Sorry to hear about the bike. Bloody annoying. I think most of us have been there

You're right about the stupider end. So keep your eye on the usual outlets. ebay, gumtree and the local Cash Convertors type shops

The intelligent end? Who knows? They seem to be getting away with it. Depressingly. I think there's a lot of stripping high end bikes down, and selling on the parts which are less traceable

This or building/changing parts out so it doesn't look like your bike anymore. If they nick enough bikes then this is quite easy to do.

Depressing huh? Sorry to hear about your bike as well
