at the time of the theft, the bike was missing the front tyre cap and the left handlebar cap. It also had labels etc still attached as not had it for very long.
All bikes are in excellent condition. The theft has been reported to the police at Little Park Street (crime ref: 20MI / 10095 / 08). Think it highly likely that the bikes’ components may be sold separately as the bikes themselves, being rare and distinctive, would doubtless attract attention.
Measures taken to recover the bikes are listed below. any other suggestions most welcome!
- · emailing details to bicycle shops around the West Midlands
· logging the theft on a cycling site on the internet
· running the story in the Coventry Evening Telegraph
Could [Lucy] make a special request of our triathlete colleagues to be particularly alert for any sightings, and possibly mention around their clubs?
