Tea Leaves

Our mountain bikes were stolen from a locked shed in our garden yesterday.

Its very unlikely that they will be found but you never no.

Bike details:
Trek Fuel EX8 in white.  Fox forks and rear shock.  Maxxis tyres
Merida 96 in black / green.  Green pedals!  Nukeproof stem and bars.

Thankfully both bikes are insured.   Its just a little inconvenient and actually a little sad!  

So many adventures with these two steads, Including:  Yorkshire Dales, Yorkshire Moors, The Peak, The Lakes, Scotland and the Seven Stanes, Hamsterley, Wales, DBC, Northumberland, Forest of Dean, Bike Packing, Falling off, breaking, mending, Borrowdale Bash, British Cycling L2 training and Assessment, Arran, India, The French Alps, The Alsace and Soul Train.

I hope the new owners get as much enjoyment out of them as we have.  FYI the trek needs the following:  A complete new drive chain, a new bottom bracket, new rocker pivots, new headset and some new rubber.  You should have asked before you took it...
