STOLEN: 25" Raleigh Royal 531 touring PHOTO

Post by dameunmate »

Gift from my girlfriend, the first bike I built up from a bare frame...only ridden for 3 weeks...gone overnight! No trace of the thick cable combination lock which was securing the frame to a cycle rack/stand.

Stolen on Tuesday 26th April 2011 between 0200-1600 hours from outside Coltash Court, 152 Whitecross Street, London EC1Y 8QL which I've since learnt is a cycle theft hotspot!

The 25" Raleigh Royal 531 touring frame is very large and distinctive alone, but if it still has the parts I put on it it'll really stand out:

    - extra long straight quill stem
    - white charge riser bars (coloured black with permanent marker wearing off!)
    - gold anodised components taken off my old Raleigh Record Sprint: Weinmann caliper brakes, single chainring and crank arms
    - no derailleur, 5-speed freewheel but set as single speed
    - shifters hack sawn off to leave simple shimano brake levers
    - shimano M520 SPD clipless pedals black/silver
    - thin alloy rims front and back with Armadillo road tyres
    - can't remember name of the thick wide comfy gel saddle

oh well...
