Hi All
Indeed we had to buy back without the help of cops, they were not interested and sadly incompetent when it comes to bike theft. The cops have identified the gang from CCTV but seem incapable of doing anything about them. What we are now doing, is offering free tagging of bikes with chips, and also a physical bulletin board for photos of stolen bikes. Although cops cant do much unless you register frame number on www.immobilise.com The more of us that do this the harder it is for them to get away with it. There are still a few bikes missing and lots of parts and clothes/accessories. Most noticeable and valuable is a complete set of red CMWC 2009 Tokyo Crank, Seatpost, saddle and drop bars. Anyone sees these again ,let me know, only 20 sets ever made and only one set in England, albeit MIA.
Thanks again for all the moral support, come in and see actual zombie bikes-back from the dead...
