Bike Description

Quite an old bike. Rear suspension is squeaky and is a black coil suspension. Front suspension is completely locked up and some rust is visible on the fork. Blue wire bike lock near the front of bike which I lost the key to and was never able to remove from the bike. 26 inch wheels. 3 x 8 gear system. Silver front derailleur with a non stock rear derailleur. The rear derailleur had to be replaced because it was bent on a ride and I replaced with the cheapest I could find although it is technically not made for an 8 gear bike. It is in the pics below. No rear hanger, the derailleur attaches directly to the frame and the frame is noticeably bent at the hanger but not enough to cause major issues. Old shimano gears and sr suntour chainrings at the front. Black pedals. I made a mess of the stem of the fork when taking it off. It got stuck so I hit with a hammer to remove but that ended up bending the metal further so the top of the stem is higher than it should be. I was in the middle of fixing it up when it was stolen. I do not have a picture of my bike and all the pictures I find online are very low quality but the pictures plus the description should be enough. Very damaged frame with silver from below the paint visible in many places.

Theft Description

I rode up by my house a bit on the 24th February at about 7pm to test some adjustments I made to the gears and then rode back to the house and put it in the garden for the night and closed the gate so it would be hard to notice as I usually would. I woke up in the morning and at about 12 I was making lunch and realized it wasn't in the garden anymore. It was stolen from my house in Staninngley near Lidl , Home Bargains and Gregs.
