Stolen bikes

100% sure its mine. Same wheels, front brake, brake cable and a rare colour. Frame was purchased here about 8 months ago.

It was for sale shortly after it was stolen then no adds for 3 weeks and now it's back. Its too obvious at that price its stolen so maybe he's having a hard time selling.

Arrange to meet him at the tube station, go to the nearest police station before you meet him and tell them the situation and that it is a stolen bike which you have reported already. Bring the proof that it's yours and print the advert, the police will be obliged to come with you.

When you see him get the officer to go over then you show up, if he makes a runner then they police will take it more seriously as you have snooped out a genuine bike thief for them. You will be safe and not risk getting messed up and there is a strong possibility that you will get your bike back.
