Bike Description
The bike is a Thorn Raven touring bike (dark green frame), with a Rohloff Speedhub 500/14 (i.e. a black hub in the back wheel enclosing the 14 gear mechanism).
It had a silver coloured rear bike rack, strapless toe clips on the pedals, fittings for a front panier, for a cycle speedo, for lights front and back, and a flexible cable lock, which clipped onto the frame under the seat.
Theft Description
At about 7.45 p.m. on that day, I parked the bike up against some railings near at the Bridge Chapel on Duke Street, Derby for a couple of minutes. I didn't lock the bike, as I usually do, meaning to be only afew seconds, but was delayed by a couple of minutes in the Chapel. While I was in the Chapel locking up, someone took the bike. No sign of them or any witnesses on emerging from the Chapel.
