STOLEN!!!!!!!!

[Rob]

some good news at last,no the bike didnt make a return, but the insurance claim went well, and we got the full amount for both bikes, so only £80 of £5000...so all good!!!

now the big debate of what to get, im thinking of replacing the prince exactly the same, maybe a slightly larger frame!!!

After getting one of my bikes stolen a few month ago I decided to store my road bike inside the flat, so bought one of these wall mount devices from
http://tuskstore.overpro.co.uk/

It uses a clever bolt system which expands as you tighten them to grip the drill-holes. I was a bit skeptical about whether they would work, so rather than risk damaging the bike, first I lifted myself up -- and yes, it supported my 63 Kgs just fine and was rock solid. The hooks are covered in a spongey gel plastic, so aren't going to damage the top tube. (Note: has to be fixed to masonry walls (brick, concrete), not plaster-board type)

So, if you're going to get another Pinarello, why not display it like the work of art it is?

lol, i did hang up my bikes in the garage, when the next pinarello comes, its going to be bolted to the wall everynight in a big garage with an airtight door and a alarm system hooked up to the police station! no ones ever getting my bikes again! ( i hope)
