STOLEN - a load of Archie Wilkinson push bikes - Sheffield

Recommended Posts

I am part of Sheffield Cycle Kids Speedway club and we have just had our bike store done over - the perps have stolen most of our bikes 26" and 700C single speed bikes

 

Archie Wilkinsons rarely come up for sale so if you see one please let me know

 

PS to Clarify (cant seem to change title of post) these are push bikes - not speedway motorbikes

thanks folks

 

We are looking for some photos of the bikes to get out on social media, there were a lot (we are still trying to check how many) so doubt we will have pics of every one

 

the bikes are pretty distinctive but worth little to the thieves as many of the parts are specific to these bikes - only stuff like the front wheels are standard afaik. Small framed, single speed, no brakes, swept back handlebars - you cant use them on the road

Weird looking bikes with swept back handlebars, no gears and no brakes?

 

just seen 2 kids with one, reported to police rather than approach them myself

 

idiots - if they are dim enough to steal such distinctive kit and ride it round just up the road then they deserve to get caught

I understand two were recovered over the w/e, but I didnt see any

Sorry to read it, mate. Hope you get them back. Hard to believe there's so many blatant crooks around that area and so many of them are just kids.
