Follow up re: Dawes Double Blue.
Didn't see it at Brick Lane or ebay / Gumtree but the insurance look as if they are putting me right in a good way and I'm now drooling over something a bit nice in Tokyo Fixed Gear.
A big thumbs up to City of London Police - they were very sympathetic and definitely wanted to help although with such a wide window of time when the theft took place and lack of well placed cameras in the area they said it wouldn't be worth scouring the CCTV footage.
Gave me advice about what I should do if I spot the bike anywhere - don't confront, call the cops.
Time heals. I'm getting over it now but it's a shitty thing to happen. Two locks from now on. Just make it hard enough so they go somewhere else.
