Hi , I went up there today ... keeping an eye out for my Enigma ... but .... its so depressing seeing how many scroats turn up and drop off obviously nicked bikes ... saw nice white P5 Cervelo and small Condor cross converted single speed left for sale ..... horrible , horrible little cunts ....
...glad you got yours back though ... cheered me up a bit at least .... -
Thanks for the report. It's good that you got your bike back--and that it was clearly identifiable so you couldn't have made a mistake. Quite a few people have got their bikes back in this way, and I've never heard of an adverse report, but I've always been worried that it might end in someone accidentally 'taking back' a bike that wasn't theirs, or that they might get caught by the 'sellers' in trying to do so. Needless to say, as it's illegal, it's not something that is to be recommended irrespective of the outcome, although of course I understand why people resort to desperate measures. Brick Lane is a particular problem in this respect if the two remaining strategies are to either go down there with some hefty mates (which some people have done) or do what you did.

I pretended I am really interested in. I checked the bike like who want to buy it.
I asked him I would like to try the bike before I pay.
(looking for £200 for my bike)
When I had tried it I turned slow to the next road to Cygnet street and start a sprint on Bacon street.
Honestly I nicked back my bike but I tried to avoid the conflict/fight etc. I think it was the easiest and fastest way to get back my love. Of course I am live in a totally different area so I think I never see them again.
