The office of Singletrack mountain bike magazine in Todmorden, West Yorkshire was broken into over the weekend and four bikes were stolen. So keep your eyes peeled for a Cotic Rocket, Orange Five Pro, Santa Cruz Nickel and Lapierre XR 529.

Thanks to the speedy response of West Yorkshire Police the thieving scumbags scarpered mid-theft so only got away with four bikes, but those that belonged to staff of the magazine.
