There's a bottle holder on the frame along with a mini pump clip and pump, if it's still there. There are a few scratches and dings on the frame - a sign of a well-used and loved bike.

- Description of incident
-
My bike was stolen from a home garage in daylight. Clear CCTV footage was captured including showing the youth's face and his accomplices in the background - some on bikes too. They came down off the Grand Union Canal towpath just outside Berkhamsted and one lad sneaked in to grab my bike while the others kept watch on the canal and road. Young lad who actually took the bike was wearing a grey hood but could still see his face. Dark brown hair, stockily-built, about 5ft 6-9. The bike looked huge beside him. He wore dark grey jogging bottoms, a light grey hoodie with a blue hooded bodywarmer on top. He also had a small black backpack and wore white trainers. Looked approximately 14-17 years old.
