  • Hi,

    on Friday Night at 5am my chain snapped on my Colnago on my way home. This resulted in my nose breaking as I hit the floor and unconsciousness. I awoke in hospital to be told that my bike hadn't been taken with me or collected by the police.

    It is a Colnago C91 in Purple,
    Campagnolo Record 10sp carbon Groupset,
    Campagnolo Delta Brakes,
    Brookes Ti Swift saddle,
    ITM Marathon bars with black lizard skin tape,
    Halo wheels
    There was a carradice saddle bag on the back too.

    If anyone knows where it could be I would really appreciate it, also please keep a look out for it on Scumtree or the bay...

  • Shit news, heal well and good luck in finding it.

  • That's terrible. Hope you're on the mend, it's worth posting this on the stolen bike thread too. People following that thread are very vigilant and helpful!

    Where did this happen, sometimes bikes don't stray very far at all.

  • The theft happened on Eversholt Street, somewhere between Euston and Mornington Crescent.

    Been in touch with the Police today, and it there was no bike next to me when I was found, so it was stolen whilst I was unconscious on the floor.

  • Scumbag! Good luck finding it again

  • I work/cycle round here. So will keep my eyes peeled and a lock on hand, just in case!

    Fucking shit luck man.

  • my condolences , get well soon )

  • Absolute result. Just had a call from the policeman on duty that found me on Friday night. Apparently when he found me I told him in my concussed haze that I had had my bike stolen, he has the initiative to go through my mobile phone to find a picture of my bike and send it to himself, then finds my bike (being ridden by a scalywag) and locks it up outside the hospital I was sent to. He wasn't on duty till today. So my bike had been locked up outside the hospital the whole time, and the person who he found with the bike has been arrested!

    Unbelievably chuffed, and impressed with both the police and the general public. I can't believe a titanium swift, Delta brakes, and the carradice bag didn't get pinched.

  • Awesome news and well in by the copper :)

  • Get in!

  • Amazing! So was it definitely a chain fail or did the little shit knock you off on purpose? I ask as it sounds like you may have been jumped - especially as he was riding it when he was nicked.

  • Touch!

    Make sure you treat that Copper to some Cookies! Good to share around the treats when great stuff happens!

    (My pinarello got nabbed few weeks ago, and the City Police got it back for me after I spotted it on gumtree)

  • Wow, unbelievable. glad you got it all back!

    awesome! bet this has totally restored your faith in mankind, good people/police DO exist. hope the nose is healing up...

  • That is an amazing story. Any news on what is happening to the littleshitbagcunt?

  • Fucking nice job!
    A bag of doughnuts and a letter to his sergeant will give him warm feelings inside!

  • Outstanding work by the copper. Deserves recognition. Buy him some bevvy.

  • Cops just earned +400% respect.
    Stuff like this seriously .. never happens.

    Hope you're getting better, too.

  • get the copper to register here, i wanna rep him.

  • Yeah +1 to the federal.

    This is a dope story.
    It's probably worth somebody writing something about this,it's pretty much excellent pr.

  • This is insane, I read the OP and almost shed a tear as its such a nice bike!
    This is the best policeman ever. Hope all is well with your recovery.

    Talk about above and beyond the call of duty.

    Oh, and heel up quick, as well. Bikes are important, but people are far more valuable.
