More on theft of my My Dolan Seta track bike: it was stolen at about 3:35 - 3:40 pm on 13th (thursday) from inside the grounds of Gayhurst school on Gayhurst Road, Hackney, London, E8 3EN when I went to collect my sons who go there. The bike was left for a few seconds well inside the school grounds, it was in fact next to the door of the reception and is under close CCTV. I've seen the recorded footage of the sub-human scum who had followed me into the school grounds and picks the bike up right in front of the camera seconds before I come out with my son. It is likely that he lives nearby and is quite identifiable. He is tall, I'd say well over 6 feet, scrawney build and with a noticeably slouching posture, he is white, probably in in his early twenties short brown straight hair. he was wearing a grey jacket over a white shirt with a collar. If anyone spots, him grab the nearest blunt instrument and bludgen this evolutionary mistake.
The bike is only a few months old and in perfect condition. I bought it direct from Dolan bikes online and have a complete list of all the parts and their model numbers and spec. A hole had been pre-drilled through the front fork on which I had mounted black Shimano 105 front calliper brake fitted to a Cane Creek brake lever. The Sugino Logo is missing from the crankset as it had rubbed off when I was cleaning the bike with alcohol so this should be easy to identify. There is a smallish scratch on the crossbar and I replaced one of the tyres so they are not matching as purchased. Apart from this it looks just like the image here

which is from the Dolan website, same Alpina headset, Navigator Street wheels etc. If anyone sees one being sold anywhere please let me know. There aren't that many around. Any info that leads me to getting it back will be generously rewarded. If it was legal I would also offer a reward for anything that leads to any physical harm being done to the overgrown pondlife i've described above.
