It’s pretty unique as it has a cascade components link. Also got teal grips and matching one up tool in the steerer.

Will list other spec soon.

Honestly....having had bikes stolen I am always upset when I hear / see this. Bike thieves should always lose fingers and thumbs. Painfully.

FFS, sorry to hear Yuley.

It’s probably the only Cascade link getting around with the 3 joining screws each side blacked out in case anyone sees one pop up for sale.

Yeah, its pretty identifiable. Durolux forks (with custom stealth decals), Cascade components link (with attention to detail only @beeb can deliver - blacked out screws), shigura brakes etc. Minion DHF up front and Goodyear Newton ST out back. Even if someone was to swap out a couple of things to flip it, there is enough unique stuff to make it identifiable for sure…

That sucks. Bike theft hurts deep. My sincere condolences on your loss.

Fuck mate that's shitty news

Will definitely be keeping an eye out for it.

Thanks @pink poodle. I fucking love my bike and am really shitty about this.

As much as I’m hoping to find my bike, I’m sure chances are not great..

Thanks mate - appreciated it

As much as I’m hoping to find my bike, I’m sure chances are not great so if you have any tips on dealing with insurance companies to get the right value for something that was pieced together from a million places, that would be very handy.


Thanks mate - appreciated it

Not sure if it applies, but when my brother had his house broken into and bikes stolen his insurance company passed the bike claim part onto Velosure, they were excellent in getting his bikes valued and replaced.

 

[pink poodle]

In my experience he chance of getting the bike back is 1 out of too many, and in that case it was still written off. So perhaps a zero percent chance is more accurate? I have seen a only a small number of mine again over the years, with the chance to regain one with force. In that instance I thought the police (stationed nearby) would be of assistance and naively sought their help rather than rely on violence.

So fucked mate, sorry. Just in Clifton Hill will keep an eye out in case it’s just a joyriding asshole.

Only fingers and/or thumbs? I'd be going for head amputation....

The satisfaction of knowing they're unable to do any more damage and harm, despite clearly wanting to is the reason for this.

Detaching their head is rewardingly permanent though.

Did you have it listed as an item for insurance? Or its own insurance or are you relying on car or household insurance?

I haven't spoken to my insurance company yet as I'm waiting on the incident report from the police.

@yuley95 , if you want to email us up some pics / spec outline we can share it around on both SuperSportsAu facebook and instagram and the TransitionBikesAU instagram for you.

Brilliant. I'll send you a PM now and get an email ready to go. Thanks!

Sounds like it was either an opportunistic snatch and grab, or maybe you were followed home. Might be worth putting it up in some local area facebook groups, incase it was a kid who suddenly turned up home with a new bike and told his naive parents he paid his mate $200 for it.... good luck with it, hope it turns up.

I haven't spoken to my insurance company yet as I'm waiting on the incident report from the police but I'm hoping it's covered under car or household insurance for full value. It was taken off my car from in front of my house so not sure how they will categorise it (car or house)

Hopefully as it was locked up the insurance should come through for you at least.
