Paperclip Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 It also said on her facebook that a proto Onza race bmx was stolen with a pretty high end spec. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Rankin Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 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) Echo 20" trials bike, silver frame with orange Echo headset. Black wheels and orange rim tape. Deore disc brakes. Orange crank bolts (no pedals). Prototype Onza Race BMX in green with a rear Chris King hub. Purple stem, Onza ‘Mongo III’ headset and nipples. Renthal Chainring on Shimano cranks (different cranks from photo), S&M race bars and XTR rear brake. Specialized Allez 52cm 2011 road bike, red with silver Planet X seatpost. Shimano 105 crankset, black bar tape (with purple insulation tape) and Black Specialized saddle. 2 x Planet X carbon bottle cages. Purple headset spacer also makes it more distinctive. Orbea Aqua 57cm 2009 road bike, white with green bar tape and an SDG saddle in white with a green tartan design. 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herbertlemon102 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 Will keep an eye out on second hand for sale pages, I'd hate to have any of my bikes stolen. the bastards Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Rankin Posted October 27, 2014 Report Share Posted October 27, 2014 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Katy Rankin Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 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. http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/news/11574418.__6_000_cycles_stolen_from_top_rider/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konstant Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Well done for getting so much exposure through the press, Facebook etc. One of them is bound to be spotted. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Katy Rankin Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 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.

niconj Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 You feel like bargaining with them. In Lima there's a place where people go to buy back their belongings after they have been stolen. The police doesn't even go to this place.

weirdoku Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Yeah she's not in Lima. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
