  • Bike was stolen from a house at the bottom of Bushey Hill Road (Camberwell/Peckham) night of 23rd July/morning of Monday 24th July along with another bike. Really gutted as it was inside my sister's house entrance which is shared by one other flat - thought this would be safe, but they were obviously watching bikes going in and out for a while waiting to take them. This nullifies my insurance, obviously :(

    I had it custom made at Racer Rosa so it's got a massive amount of sentimental value to me (it's genuinely the only possession I really have any care over). It's a Lombardi frame, columbus tubing, with miche doing all the other bits and really nice quill seat post.

    Anyone got any tips for tracking it down? Things I have done:

    • Reported it to the police
    • Reported it missing on Bike Shepherd (it was tagged with a cycle revolution tag) and Bike Register
    • Fliered the area with "MISSING" posters asking for a £300 reward
    • Put saved searches on Ebay and Gumtree for keywords relating to a red bike/lombardi bike
    • Contacted a lot of London based bike shops with details of the bike
    • Bought google ad words for keywords to do with the bike (hoping the thief will google for the bike - the ads talk about the £300 reward for return and link to the Bike Shepherd page

    I am going to also go to a lot of markets this weekend that have bike sellers to give them a flier and to see what's going on there (any suggestions for the best ones to go to?)

    I don't know what stage of loss I am at - but it seems to be hypo-manic.
