It truly demonstrates the randomness of the web, when a well-intentioned plea for a bike's rightful owner ends up in a discussion about race and Pearly Kings/Queens.
Yes Nikola bought a stolen bike, but all things considered, if it had been anyone on here's pride and joy, something they'd saved a long time for and lovingly built up, I'd say they'd be over the moon that someone had the foresight to buy it instead of it being sold on to someone perhaps a little less appreciative of a good bike.
Ideally there would've been a copper walking by at the precise time the thief offered the bike, but hey, if they were that plentiful, maybe the theft wouldn't have happened in the first place.
Well done Nikola.
