Anyone missing a blue track bike?

Spotted a shifty looking bike at a car boot this morning. Was going to buy it (to resell to possible original owner) but someone else grabbed it before I got back from the cash machine.

Im pretty sure ive seen it around local Birmingham fixy haunts.

About 57-58cm oxford blue steel lugged track frame and forks. No logo's except for reynolds 531 badge. The top tube had a couple big dents which made me think it was stolen. It had black risers and I think a cinelli stem.

No name seatpost and umemorable seat. Campagnolo classic track cranks with Gebhart chainring.

Most bling part however: Pair of Campagnolo omega V (black) track wheels on large flange black hubs. The hubs were just modern sealed bearing OEM stuff but the rims were hott. No brake markings and looking new.

Seen at Hopwood carboot (druids heath sort of area) morning of 24 july.

FYI. This was/is a friend of mine's. He had it stolen over 12 months ago outside a house party in KH. It was purchased on Sunday from said booter. After it was explained to the vendor that he was 'fencing' he lowered the price considerably, he actually had no idea it was a stolen bike.

The bike will be returned to it's owner this weekend in exactly the same state as it was stolen, bar the extra ding in the TT.

Result I say and those wheels, I'm having 'em!

good community spirit DFP, well done

Nicely done :)

Quality.

Is this a car boot sale that has a lot of bikes or is it just coincidence that you were both there at the same time?

Coincidence, it was a really awful car boot. Went to the much superior studley right after.
