Bike Description

Large womens Carrera, mountain bike, purchased around 2016 silver, with pink bottle holder bell is so loose on the left, that it spins - a totally unusable and rusted black bike bell. fairly rusty chain smart system built into back tyre (for the gear change purpose - so back tyre clicks as well as front when spun around/revolved) no leather bike seat whatsoever wheel diameter (smaller than some other adult bikes) 600ish diameter original tyres still intact (one completely flattened though) extremely difficult tyre tubes to repair - this would have to have specialise knowledge and tools - otherwise be selling for parts. Minimal cosmetic wear & tear not muddy quite lightweight (same as most ~£200 bikes weigh) looks quite bulky/valuable from a distance, due to being of Carrera make. I’ll add an image of identical male version of this bike asap (but as mentioned before, it is mum’s bike hence the delay in giving the full details).

Theft Description

On Sussex crimewatch there’s been reported to have been a spike in bike related theft this week (start of March 2024). Carrerra bike was taken from newham way car park (with abus bike lock left snapped/ still on the bike rack.). It was at definitely Mon-thurs this week as this bike had been due to go down to Theo community repair cafe in the. Neighbouring village of horam. (am in difficult circumstances at the comment , therefore I, myself, couldn’t get it back from the rack sooner/before this week had entered). opportunist theft of carrera brand - other one of my bikes that’s merely more rust than the Carrerra has just been left.
