Evening folks, my Orange P7 2011 was pinched from my folks shed last week. I'm under no illusion that I'm ever going to see it again but if you get offered one in the Wigan area that's single speeded with Crest Rims on Hope pro II's, Reba Race forks, Formula Mega brakes its more than likely mine. If by some stroke of luck someone comes across it can drop me a mail.
What does puzzle me though, is where do these thieving toe rags sell bikes like this on? My folks were defiantly targeted as my dads bike got pinched not a month previous, so I assume they were after his new replacement (not kept in the shed thankfully) Could be skag heads after a quick couple of quid but they've gone to a lot of trouble to get the bike.
On a plus note the brakes didn't work so hopefully who ever stole it ended up under an 18 wheeler.
Mark

Sounds pretty unique, will keep 'em peeled at Haigh Hall and around.

Can I ask which bit of town? Email if you prefer. Had all my bikes nicked before and I'm a teeny bit para about such things now.

I feel you're pain. I had a spanking new P7 pro that I singlespeeded myself crest rims also. They did not nick it because it was a beautiful thing that only enlightened people could appreciate. No just a few hundred quid probably 🙁

Cheers guys, much appreciated. My folk live in Golborne - technically not Wigan but its the closets town. The bobby who dealt with the theft said there had been a spate of bike thefts from sheds and garages in the Golborne / Lowton area.
Stay vigilant folks
Thanks again,
Mark
