Northbrook AC

On the night of Sat 25 Oct, three valuable bicycles were stolen by thieves from [Lucy's] garage in Coventry. Two of them are particularly distinctive, being top of the range Cannondales from about 9 years ago. Here are some summary descriptions:



1998 Cannondale Racing bike:
bright red Tour de France bike,

Model name: CAAD-3

yellow team Saeco markings,

Shimano Dura-ace and Koda groupset

Spinergy 4-spoke carbon fibre wheels

clipless pedals

1999 Cannondale mountain bike:
large tubed carbon fibre Y-frame (black),

fully suspended,

Model name: Raven

Red front forks & rear suspension

Shimano groupset (Diore, I think)

clipless pedals

2008 Pinnacle racing bike: (photo is of 2009 model I think)
compact black frame, size small, with adjustable handlebar stem

Model name: Sentinal 2.0


acessories of silver bottle cage and mini pump

clipless pedals (look keo easy)

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?

bad luck lucy.
