Stolen bikes

Don't see why it's wrong if you attempt to check its stolen.
bargain reward vs. not getting the owner pay you what you paid risk
I emailed them with the details. They took forever and were we're daft enough to say that it was unlikely the same bike as I picked it up the same day (stolen Richmond, 'recovered' Bethnal Green). Eventually offers to collect it but I said I'd bought it so wanted the owner to collect. Exchanged emails and got my money back, and a bottle of wine.

Yep I guess the police won't help much, unless its been reported stolen recently and by someone very persistant.

I mailed them.

Turns out Dave Yates built it from 853. Frickin nice frame.

I wish it fitted me... in case I do keep it.
