Bike Description

 

small candy pink bike with cross bar and curly handle bars called "Dave Yates". it’s very pink with some pale blue outlines of the lugs (frame joints).

 

it’s a 20 inch / 50 cm audax  / randonneur /  light tourer with Campagnolo triple chain ring group set (mainly Chorus and Athena). 

it was custom built by Dave Yates in 1991 mostly in Reynolds 531 steel tubing.  it has black handlebar tape and silver mudguards.  the tops of the forks and seat stays have "D / Y" engraved in light blue.  the bottom bracket (barrel shape that the pedals rotate around) probably has the postcode "E5 0AY" stamped on it.  It's also probably got a data tag.  the saddle is black with a 2-pronged nose and called "ISM".

 

Theft Description

 

on Wednesday May 29th I was late for work and grabbed my things and rushed into the building forgetting to put my bike in the car.  that was at 0830 approx.  At 1700 approx I left work jumped into the car and drove off without noticing there was no bike in the back.    I realised it was missing on Sunday June 2nd when it wasn't in the bike shed and wasn't at the boyfriend's house. the bike was taken from Timber St car park in South Wigston.  that's behind the Social Services building on Basset st.
