Hi All,
Please keep a look out for the following bikes that were stolen from my Edinburgh garage on Easter Monday.
A custom built Whyte E-120XT

and also a Secialized Enduro Pro 04, with full xt groupset.
Gutted that they are gone and would love to see them returned.
Many Thanks in advance,
Kev

Hi there, Drumbrae area. police believe it was very definitely targeted. They broke into the garage and took only the bikes, didn't touch anything else. Invested in some serious garage security now.
Its a pretty distinctive bike, not everyone's cup of tea I know, but I spent a long time getting the build I wanted and it was superfast (and fun). Thanks again, Kev

Sorry to hear that tmb467, I don't know what's worse losing the bikes or subjecting myself to endlessly looking at bike porn to find suitable replacements.
Thankfully insurance covers most, hope your does too!

nope - not correctly covered so I got £200

However, I have been granted authority to indulge in bike porn and hopefully should have a 2011 turner 5-spot frame waiting for me when i go home today

(unless I've been scammed)

That's so harsh from the insurance, £200 hardly buys a costco special. Turner 5 spot should cheer you up though! I'm lusting after a Spicy 527 Ei

Both bikes eventually tracked down, some components a litle worse for wear, but at least the wee scrotes didn't get away with it! Warning as ever is, stay well away from gumtree, its just a thieves network!
