katusha canyon speedmax red.jpgLive blog: PRO STOLEN BIKE ALERT! Alex Dowsett's Katusha Canyon Speedmax + Save The Rim Brake, dogs on bikes and lots more
Simon joined road.cc as news editor in 2009 and is now the site’s community editor, acting as a link between the team producing the content and our readers. A law and languages graduate, published translator and former retail analyst, he has reported on issues as diverse as cycling-related court cases, anti-doping investigations, the latest developments in the bike industry and the sport’s biggest races. Now back in London full-time after 15 years living in Oxford and Cambridge, he loves cycling along the Thames but misses having his former riding buddy, Elodie the miniature schnauzer, in the basket in front of him.

Take a look on ebay, someone selling a Sram Red etap groupset (with a pick of a carpet) and a Zipp 303 rear wheel (with a pick of a bike catalogue), listed recently.
Only a little odd.
Where was it stolen from?
Dowsett lives near Chelmsford in Essex.
He lives in Maldon and often takes part in the Maldon Cycling Clubs TTs when he's in the country. Such a nice approchable chap too - He's just a guy taking part in a club activity, not a prima-donna super star. This is a horrible thing to happen to anyone, but to be targeted when you're out of the country is the work of a special type of scum.
I quite often see him cycling around here (I live in Maldon) he's pretty recognisable, usually because he's going so much faster than any other cyclists around here. He's a really nice guy, and if he's not on his TT bike he's given a thumbs up when going the other way.
It's a horrible thing to happen to anyone but he especially doesn't deserve anything like this, as he said, the emotional trauma is the worst part. Unless it's stolen to order I'd have thought it must be a bit of an awkward bike to sell on, it's very distinctive and quite specific to him.
I would've thought they'd break it for parts... Maybe even chuck the frame. A friend of a friend had their super-ish bike nicked from outside a cafe they were in... Chopped right through the frame.
Parasites.
I wanna be in the Leprechaun gang! I'm sort of naturally qualified.
