Hi sorry if this isn't the correct place to post but thought it was a good start.

If any of you are out biking could you keep a look out for some bikes that have been stolen. They were stolen last night from a shed in Chester. One is a Nicolai Helius in custom orange and white colours then there's a Santa Cruz Nomad in all white colours and then a Kona Dawg delux in dark blue colour. I've got a detailed specs and piccies if anyone can think of any way of improving the chances of getting them back!

Happy biking

This will get locked I imagine.

Unlucky though, sound like some really nice bikes, hope you get them back. Watch ebay and gumtree, and post here too http://www.singletrackworld.com/forum/forum/bike-chat

Our Mods are not unreasonable, they'll move it to the right section.

Best of luck in retrieving the bikes

Will keep an eye out - my mate got his bike stolen from Saughall & thankfully recovered in Blacon via good police work

Grrr - sorry to hear that mate, just had mine lifted at home visiting parents; you know, back where you feel 'safe' and all!!

Anyway, will keep an eye out in Delamere as good chance they could turn up there, either at the 4X track / area or the downhill stuff just off the Hatchmere road.

Might also be worth putting up a STOLEN notice up at Lllandegla on the notice board, might be worth it if you're in the area.

Fingers crossed pal, certainly don't see many of those Nicolai's...

Mmm. I saw three rough scallies pushing MTB's across Christleton Road today at 7:25pm by the shops - near Bonhams. The roughest of them had what I took to be a white Trek Remedy but I guess it could have been a Nomad. It didn't look right to me which was why I noticed. Dunno what the other bikes were. Might be worth you having a drive around Boughton & Vicars X??
Hope u get them back.
