Please help me to get my pride and joy back.  I've only had it 6 months and love it.  It got stolen off the back of my car on Sunday 22 April in Noordhoek (next to the Noordhoek Common)

Description is as follows.

Specialized S-Works Tarmac SL3Frame  (white)
Ritchey Stem
All components (Derailleurs, Cranks, chain rings etc ) are SRAM Red except shifter & brakes which are SRAM Force
Look Keo pedals
Mavic Kyserium Elite Wheels
Fizik (I think) seat

It’s got some white “helicopter”  tape in 2 places to prevent rubbing of the cables onto the frame

I will pay a R2000 reward to anyone who directly leads to the successfull reccovery of the bike in its original condition

Please contact me on 082 3787784 or dominic.paine@za.didata.com

Hi Domestique.

Thought I had uploaded it the first time but obviously didn't work.  Have tried again and now seems to have worked.  Thanks for the interest.  Much appreciated

Cheers

#$%!@, this is ridiculous.

I know how you feel Dommo, had a Demo 8 stolen from my garage on the 5th.

Where are they selling these top-end bikes?!

Hi, sorry for your loss.
@OP:
Quick question, was the bike not insured?

There is evil! It's actual, like cement... I can't believe it. I can't stand it. Evil is not a view... it's an ingredient in us. In the world. Poured over us, filtering into our bodies, minds, hearts, into the pavement itself.Posted Image

There was a guy on the hub that got his bike back after posting a reward in Cape Town, see if you can contact him. He seemed to know who to let know that a reward was being offered. http://www.thehubsa....__fromsearch__1

I'm afraid not for these circumstances.  If it was in the car or in the house it would have been but apparently  not from the rack even though it was cable locked on.  Don't know how they got the cable lock off - must have been bolt cutters.
Thanks for the interest and condolences

If the bike was locked to the rack by a cable, then your insurance should cover it then. There have been a few threads discussing this, where they are I'm not exactly sure. Who are you insured by? Is your rack locked to the car?

If I caught someone using bolt cutters to steal my bike I use them to cut off his &*@!

i have heard there are cameras that show the comings and goings of people at the entrance to the Noordhoek Farm Village... im assuming you were maybe parked there? if so ask to see the camera footage for the day, you might find something. just a suggestion.
