Bike Description
This is a hardtail hybrid with manual lockout SR Suntour forks and Tektro hydraulic disc brakes. The seatpost and the WTB saddle are from a 2007 Marin hardtail mtb (originals were stolen last year!) It had a few accessories attached: specialized bronze airtool mini pump, mounted on the left hand side of the downtube, and a black 'S' speccy bottle cage on the inside face of the downtube. There was a dirtMonkey carbon fibre effect rear mudguard and Cateye EL130/TL135 front and rear lights - the rear light was attached to a Topeak light fitting with black gaffer tape (make do and mend after the seatpost and all attached accessories were stolen last year). The front derailleur was stuck (probably just a new cable needed but it was booked in for a service anyway). The rear brake was particularly spongy for a hydro so it might be noticeable if not fixed.Theft Description
It was stolen from an underground car/bike park in the basement of my work building, between the job centre and Avon street car park in the centre of Bath. Despite having decent CCTV, the same thief has struck here twice in the last month and waits for a car to exit before sneaking into the car park through the automatic roller door. He headed straight to my bike this time, suggesting he had it marked from last time. The bike was locked with a Kryptonite 7-core steel cable combination lock, though he cut through this with apparent ease/ proper cutters of some sort. He is in all dark clothing, wearing a black rucksack with a white Puma logo on it. After cutting the lock he changes his jacket and shoes before taking the bike out of the exit door. There's a very good shot of his face, which will end up on the local Police 'rogues gallery' covering the Bath area.
