Thanks for posting this on here guys. Just for anyone that hasn't seen on facebook or elsewhere, 5 bikes have been stolen from Romsey, Hampshire:

Onza limey 320 trials bike, gold frame with pink Chris King headset. Red Monty wheels and white rim tape. White monty bars, white Onza stem, SLX disc brakes. (no pedals)

I can accept that the road bikes will be very hard to track down as there's so many of them, but the trials bikes and the BMX in particular is one of a kind. I am absolutely heartbroken that these have been taken. If anyone sees anything similar please get in contact, k.rankin@soton.ac.uk, 07515411167

Many thanks,

Katy

We have had some information on the robbery, but not sure if I'm allowed to share it until we hear back from the Police. I just want my bikes returned, I don't care about anything else, nothing can replace these. If they were annoymously dropped back at our garage I would be over the moon.

Probably shouldn't be posting this garble here, but I'm desperate, I just need them to be returned, no questions asked.

Just thought of another detail about my Onza Limey - the HS33 mounts had been cut off the frame and filed down to a flat aluminium finish (looks a bit messy), which is very obvious should someone try to sell this frame to you. Not to mention the huge scraps/gouges on the downtube where I dragged it across a rock at Shipley Glen.

It is very unlikely that there are any other Limey 320 frames out there that had this done to them.

Also, as I forgot to mention it previously, the crime reference number is 44140386468, contact the police on 101 if you wish to give information anonymously.

Thanks, all you can do is try, otherwise you might live to regret it. I really, really want those trials bikes and bmx back! You feel like bargaining with them, even though that would be ridiculous.

There's a reason why I went back to riding the limey 320 frame over the newer geometry, it suited my riding style and felt so nice! I've got to try to get it back somehow.
