FELT AR1 Stolen at Wiggle Sussex Gran Fondo 2017
My Felt AR1 was stolen at the Wiggle Sussex Gran Fondo 2017 (Fontwell Park Race Track) on Saturday 03 June 2017 at around 0730hrs. I had left the bike against the wall immediately adjacent to the Tecom building entrance (the toilets with no lights!), not far from the registration tent, and was left unattended for no more than a couple of minutes.
This a very distinctive bike (black, red and white), and was custom built only one year ago. Full specification as follows;
FELT AR1 – size 54 cm, black with red and white detailing (Frame # 4251206307264)
Zipp 404 NSW clincher wheel set
SRAM Red etap
Quarq Power meter
52/36 chain rings SRAM
11/28 SRAM cassette
SRAM 172.5mm crankset
Fizik Saddle (black and red)
Wahoo Bolt computer

this looks legit, but a very similar bike to what you describe. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/FELT-AR1-SRAM-ETAP-SIZE-56CM-Warranty-any-part...
Thanks Strathbean, really appreciate you bringing this to my attention. I did spot it the other day; identical in colour but it has different wheels and gearing on, although appreciate someone could easily swap out parts. However, I did dig a little deeper and the add was placed prior to my bike being stolen. Thanks again though.
Similarly, thanks to all the other messages......I don't hold out much hope of getting it back, but you never know!!
Bad luck hope you get it back. Keep an eye on the Facebook groups as well.
A bike was stolen at a sportive I attended a few years ago fortunately someone saw the guy putting the bike in the back of a car and was followed. The police stopped him on the M40 dressed in lycra to blend in. My bike never gets left at a sportive unless it has a cafe lock and then only reluctantly. My thinking is a thief will have hundreds of other nice bikes to nick and cutting a small lock will be a bit obvious.
Gutted for you.
It's only surprising it doesn't happen more often to all of us so try not to think it's your fault for leaving it.
Thanks for the comments and suggestions ...agree it will probably be broken down and sold in parts, and will be keeping a keen eye on eBay, gumtree etc.
although insured, my insurers won't coff up as it wasn't locked....just as every other bike there wasn't, as is the same at every sportive I've ever attended. Lesson there for us all I guess.
Cheers
This is the reason a purchased a small and probably useless lock for such events. It easily pops in my pocket yet satisfies that insurance question.
I feel for you, we all like to think that fellow cyclists and people at such events are decent and honest.
Wish you every success.
Arse.
With that build level I'd imagine it will get parted out so I'd be watching Gumtree/eBay for eTap groups, the power meter, wheels, and computer. Gotta be £1k in parts s/h there.
Insured or microdotted?
Damn...
I've always been worried about just leaving my bike outside at these things when you pop to the loo etc at various feed stations. I hope you get it back.
