I’m hunting through Facebook in the hope of spotting our bikes and I saw this. I’ve learnt that it’s common to seek a swap with a stolen bike so that it breaks the chain of the thief to the location and the bike - but they’ve still got an asset. So this ‘mounting bike’ with no picture of the actual bike looks rather suspect (as does half of Facebook marketplace - anyone lost a Deedar? There’s one for swaps on there too)
If you don’t already know about it, there’s findthatbike.co.uk that sweeps a whole bunch of second hand sites and you can set alerts. One of our group has just found their stolen Orange was sold in Halifax a month or so ago.
onwards....
Good luck with the search!
Reminds me of a taxi trip in Birmingham once.... Driver asked me what I'd been doing today and I replied that I'd been mountain biking. He looked a bit odd and replied...." Mounting bacon?".
Thats a stock photo, Castleford's and hour from Hebden, could be the ST towers one???
Doh - just realised who the OP is.... I just emailed STW editor with the thread link!!!
Don't give up - I reclaimed a bike stolen from me 3 years after it was stolen.
🤞🤞🤞
When my garage was emptied, I managed to find one of our bikes on Facebook marketplace, which as Hannah points out is verrrrrrrrrrry dodgy. I alerted the Police and they got the bike back for us. Apparently it had passed through 4 sets of hands in about as many days.
