Anyone had a full-suss Marin Stolen? Swindon/nearby

thegiantbiker

Earlier in town saw some chavvy guy riding a nice-looking full-suss Marin down some stairs by the Fleming way bus stops.

Struck me that someone with a job well-paying enough to afford one of those would have more sense than to keep doing that when he already nearly took someone out.

Bike was a black full-suss all-mountain style frame, fork looked 160mm or so (I think grey, can't remember that well) and had a red seat clamp, probably hope.

Thanks for that. Not sure if the frame I saw was newer or not, but I'm sure the original owner could pass the information onto the police.

They're not that common, so I'm sure the police could check a few frame numbers.

So he can tell the police that a chavvy person in Swindon may or may not have been riding a bike that may or may not have been stolen in Bristol?
Way to go Columbo.

As this chav was being a bell end on the bike, it may have been picked up by the police?

My bike was stolen today in Bolton.

A Forme Rage so not common. My snobby mates slate it but it goes where their bikes go, sometimes faster... I would like it back but i think i have a good excuse for an upgrade now.

Its a shit feeling when you realise your bike isn't where it should be.
