real shame about your bike mate,
Ive just finished building up my bike and since going out on it Ive realised im absolutley terrified of it getting pinched!
Ive ridden far more expenisve and desirable(to thieves) 26" jump bike around and left it locked badly.
But Ive procrastinated and taken so long getting this bike together, which also features my first wheelbuild. Im very very fearful and realise how you may feel.
When I passed through Bristol recently (forst time ive been in years) I immediateley saw a hipster type on an aerospoke so I thought they must have a huge scene there now.
But overall, with the many other times ive been there what I noticed a lot of was vandalised bikes. There seems to be a popular passtime of smashing bikes there, bikes totally bent to pieces with folded up wheels everywhere.
If you get a few local people to keep an eye out I reckon its fairly likely you could spot & track down your bike, maybe put up a little flyer in 50:50 and some of the bike shops.
