Cheers for all the replies.
The guy gave me fake details. I'm a bit of a mug for not calling the mobile and asking for address and ID - at least looking at a credit card, etc.
I'm going to try and get the bike picked up and taken to a place near my house. Luckily I'm within distance (20 miles) and in any event it's only +£1.50 per mile.
I'm hoping the damage isn't too bad. Frustratingly, I haven't been able to go and check it out today in the daylight to work.
I know a lot of this was discussed with Soul, but with all the CCT TV around nowadays, is there a chance of tracking where this guy went? The accident would have been recorded around there, and I have a description. He said he was going to a bike shop. The Evans at St Pauls would be the obvious one if you were heading toward Smithfield from the Barbican right? Fullcity haven't had any in. The Evans have quite a few black Bromptons in their workshop.
Trying not to get too angry about the shitty behavior, and just chalk it up to experience....
... always call the mob number. Always get a full address and proof of their name!
