Just had a chat on the phone with the guy who stole my Lemond Fillmore on Saturday.
Saw it down on Brick Lane on Sunday - got the police out when I saw it chained to railings, and cos I couldn't prove ownership they couldn't do shit.
And then saw it on Gumtree today but the guy had sold it on last night.
It's a proper joke how easy it is for thieves to pass bikes on.
And they don't even need to be able to spell.

I didn't tell him that the bike was mine, just asked if it was still for sale. When he told me it wasn't, he was asking me what kind of bike's I liked, frame colours, handlebars, that kind of shit. Offering to get them to order. Was proper disgusting.
If anyone has bought the bike (you paid £150 I think), think how noble you'd be if you took a leaf out of George's book...
