***STOLEN*** Orbea Onix TTG CT Full Carbon Road Bike 54cm Black and white in colour

Hi,
Last Night(wednesday 25th august 2010) my bike was stolen when I was jumped by for youths on Bicycles, They were seen heading toward hilcrest when the fled the scene, so if anybody see my bike anywhere in the lucan, clondalkin, RonansTown etc area could you please let me know ASAP.
My Bike is a white and black orbea onix ttg ct full carbon road bike, 54cm frame, Tiagra front derailer, front crank and ****ers, it has and Ultegra SL 9 speed Rear Derailer, Shimano WH-R500 wheels, Selle Italia (orbea) saddle, that squeeks if u push down on it, 2 pirhanna bottle holders, look keo easy pedals, Sigma Cycling computer with built in HRM, FSA 80mm stem and Airtool mini Pump

The bike could be anywhere in the Dublin area, so If you see it let me know, it will probably be ridden by the sorta people who cant afford such a bike and not used for the correct purpose, so if you see even a bike that looks like it let me know, and if u can push down the saddle and if it squeeks it could be mine,

Thanks

Aaron

You mean they stopped you and forced them to hand over your bike? ... WTF ... !!!!! That's disgraceful ... I'm sure their mothers are really proud.

I'm near that area so I'll have a look around for the next few days, there's a lot of scum bags in this area and I know what it's like to have a bike stolen so I'll keep an eye out for you.

Did you identify any of them? Age, skin colour, height, build, clothing, their bikes?

Unfortunatley these f*****s see a nice shiny bright coloured bike and automatically assume its expensive( in your case it was). Anyone interested in roadbikes and is offered this bike will hopefully have the decency to come forward and let you or the gards know.

Drive around those estates and keep an eye out especially in the evening. If it comes to it you might have to 'reward' someone for information.

Good luck finding it.

That is absolutely appalling. I live in the area and will keep a look out for you.

Could also be a good idea popping into Stagg's and letting them know. The thieves might try and sell it to them or the person who buys it from them might drop into the shop with it. Also, they can help spread the word among cyclists in the area.

What a lousy despicable act. I hope you get your bike back soon.
Have the Gardai been involved?

Keep an eye on www.gumtree.ie and Buy and Sell

Awful, I hope you did notify the authorities because you were mugged and I hope they treat it as such. If you find the little turds make sure the Gardai treat it with the seriousness it deserves.

Were you riding the bike at the time? Were they? Did it happen on the road? I am from Lucan and will keep an eye out for it.

I was coming form tesco after cycling back to a friends house and was coming down the pedestrian walkway from tesco to the dual carrage way and got surrounded by four youth on bikes and at the bus stop at the bottom one"FELL"and block me and then it all happened, I am ok, I have an injured knee but thats it (knee was already injured but got smashed off the ground when i fell)

Does anybody have any ideas where its gone? or where it could be gone ?

Thanks
Aaron
