congratulations on getting your bike back. i will tell you all I story. I was at my friends Helens House in Belfast for a party 2 months ago. We drank alot including 1 bottle of Buckfast. I went to cycle home on my nagasawa at 6am. I made it to the top of the estate, fell off and put my bike against the bushes and proceeded to walk home in black-out state. Next morning I woke and realised I lost my bike. I went back to the estate (yes a council estate) and put up posters offering a reward. There were sightings of the bike so i marched round the estate for the next two-days. I got the bike back in perfect condition! Old people, hoods, young kids, had been looking out for my bike to get the reward. The men in their 30's plus that I met were quizzing me about graffiti of my posters, and if they saw the bike they would sell it. I met the kids who found my lost bike who then stored it in from the rain for the thought the bike was weird but special with no brakes and being fixed. They said that they thought that the bike looked good but they could not have any fun on it so they got bored and brought it home. Fliping unreal and in comparison to London it kinda made me realise that provincial regions sometimes do get a bit of slagging but sometimes they are the best places to be in a crisis. No more Buckfast for me.
