    100 Euro reward for any info leading to return of bike.
    I know its a complete long shot but said id put this up.
    Tonight Oct 9th I had a blue Trek 7.6fx robbed from outside an apartment on benson st around 10pm. Only had the bike 4 weeks. Only 1 mudguard on the rear wheel and pedal clips are prob the most recognizable things about it. Blue in colour and two bull bars on handle bar.
    Any info please reply.

    Thanks

    Not too many of them around, I'll keep an eye open. Did you have it locked? A bike like that really needs a ulock and a cable lock!

    Wow, did you have it locked to something? Was the lock there when you went to get your bike? Do you think they used an angle grinder or maybe a bottle jack?

    HAd it locked outside facebook building in hannover quay to a pole. Lock was gone with the bike. Absolutely raging about it. Impossible to find a similar bike for good money.

    They hardly lifted it over the pole or lifted the pole itself, some aren't secure in the ground as pointed out by another poster here.

    If you know what date/time the bike was stolen, would it be worth contacting Dublin City Council Traffic Dept. and see if their traffic cameras picked up anything? (just a thought)

    Sorry: got my Quays mixed up...I guess there are no traffic cameras on Hanover Quay. pity.

    Jesus that's a really nice bike. Personally I wouldn't even buy a lock for a nice bike because I wouldn't ever leave it anywhere out in public without my eye affixed to it.

    Hope you find it.

    There was three cctv cameras outside the facebook building. the gardai are getting the footage apparently. Dont know what good it will do though.

    As for the pole. it seemed pretty sturdy. Must have taking a lot of effort to cut through a u lock!

    Why would they cut the lock and bring it with them? I've seen a video or a guy with a ladder before lifting the bike over the top of the pole. The thief even unscrews the sign on the pole.

    I really hope you get your bike back. I broke a kryptonite lock before. It was my own bike and I had to use a blow torch to break the lock.

    Do kryptonite have a guarantee on their lock if its broken?

    keep looking at the sites that could sell the bike:
    gumtree, adverts, ebay, donedeal, etc...

    Also try and dig out your serial number for the cops

    I pass your building every day on the way to work, strange to have it stolen from there considering the small volume of ppl that go through there.

    Don't mean to be jumping on the travellers down the road but have you checked around there. I'd be checking around Ringsend to, especially the park.
