Big thanks to everyone for the eyes-out and advice..
I've always assumed that our stolen bikes mostly end up out of town.
There's surely at least one professional bike fence who can buy stuff up and move it out of town, but seems to me that it would be too hard to keep that up if you were re-selling into Brighton.
On the other hand, I've never really been sure how much theft there is.. I see a lot of kicked in wheels, but of the people I know with nice bikes and decent locks, not many have gone missing.
