I think we need to start looking at the real issue here, and thats demand. Somewhere there are people buying very specific, niche bike parts on the stolen black market.
This is either being done to order or people are nicking bikes and using the parts to build other rides to sell to a booming market.
Two years ago these scum would have been targeting mountain bikes, and now the scene has become so big and fashionable they have switched to fixes and s/s's.
Where are the bikes and parts being sold if they are not on ebay/gumtree or bricklane market??
