Many many pages back, you'll see I was mugged for my Dolan at the end of October 2011 on Roman Road late at night.
After searching for weeks online, staking out brick lane and going round to all the bike shops, I gave up looking.
Today, I saw it locked up in Stokey, with same wheels and even phil sprocket.
Unfortunately, it looks like the poor sod who had it actually paid 'non-stolen' price for it. Assuming he's telling the truth, I feel very sorry for him.
The police are being very helpful, guess I was lucky there also, he seemed to have trouble getting any assistance from his co-workers.
So, even though its been a few bikes since, I guess the moral is to keep your eyes peeled not matter what and know that on occasion (as rare as it may be) the karmic bike gods will eventually help you out.
