keeping in with the theme of bikeshops dealing in stolen goods, does anyone have any info on the recycles shop in Elephant & castle? I had my DMR mtb stole from outside college last October and found it in recycles around 20 minutes after it had happened. Thanks to some passing policemen i got it back, no problems. The vulgar woman behind the desk had openly paid 60 quid for it of some youth about 10 minutes before i got there. No receipts asked for or anything. The police didnt want me to take it any further as they were planning on building evidence for an investigation into recycles.
Anyway i had my Traitor track bike stolen a few weeks back (see a couple of pages back on this thread) so i ventured in recycles to peep around today. It wasn't in there but i did overhear the owner boasting to his friend about buying a couple of Cannondales for 50 quid a piece which i could visibly see he was selling for 500 each.
So if you have lost a White Cannondale Road Bike or a White Cannondale hybrid with a lefty fork you know where to find it.
I truly hope the police close that place soon.
