Stolen Cinelli RED HOOK CRIT edition recovered in Paradise Cycles Bethnal Green. Is it yours?

Nice work m8z

Good work! I fucking hate bike thieves...

Well done @fly - good karma heading your way.

Nice one. Great shop too.

If i am ever in bethnal it will be a bag if doughnuts. Chapo

Heart warming. Could the reunited owner reimburse you?

Although I felt a bit weird about it, because it is technically 'dealing' in stolen property, he was more than happy to balance the shop's till with the £50. I didn't need anything else. Although the hugs, handshakes and fist bumps were obviously welcome!

Congrats.

This is amazing, well done to all!

Paradise Cycles is the best bike shop I've ever been to, hands down.

Excellent thread all round. Nice one.

Nice work....but I would have haggled

Who needs that kind of grief at their workplace? Kid disappearing with a reddy and no comeback is a win all round.

It was a joke

Ha.

Wow that’s amazing! Glad I went to your shop for a bottom bracket removal ha

Good job mate !

STRONG WORK.

👍

I suspect I'm missing something obvious in the OP here - but do we know why the kid took the bike into the shop in the first place? I'm guessing he was trying to flog it (claiming not to know it was stolen?) but you convinced him to let it go for £50?

He was asking us to put a freewheel on it...
