If anyone has "mislaid" a single speed black Garry Fisher, with a white saddle (with a black section on the back?), narrower wheels than 700x23's (which is what mine are), bright green bar tape, and (I think) shimano spd pedals, I followed it for a bit on my way home last night.
The chap riding it was doing so like he stole it (up and down full hight kerbs, trying to sprint away from me when he realised I was following, only to give up and then try again once he'd got his breath back). What initally made me suspicious of it was the fact that he was wearing open sandals with spd pedals, and that he had the seat right down and could barely reach the pedals. It was certainly too tall for him to stand over.
Let me know if you recognise this description, and I'll let you know where he went. not sure it'll help, but it might do!

Anyone recognise this? It's on gumtree at the moment with a pretty suspicious description.
I only post it because it's so distinctive. Must belong to someone on here.
Apologies if it's legit!
EDIT: Not sure if I should be posting stuff like this here. Got my mouse hovering over the delete button if anyone takes umbrage...

Took my bike back today, bad cosmetic condition, brakepads gone, but otherwise very sound, feelt so good riding it home! I LOVE THIS BIKE!!
The person got it in Vuaxhall market for 70 pound, and did not resist what so ever when I approched him.
I am thinking about writing down the full story and make a new topic about it, might be helpfull for other people that had their bike back... or maybe post as a reply in "what to do if" thread?
Please let me know what you think!if you had you bike stolen, tell everyone you know and never give up! Thanks everyone!
3k:
No need to delete it mate, if it's legit, no damage done, if it's not, you might have helped someone to get their bike back (well you already done that once now!)Special thanks to you and MrDrem, thank you to everyone else who been involved aswell![U][/U]

A guy I work with had his Specialized Tricross stolen after getting the lock cut on friday 16th september about 8pm outside a pub on john adam street, near charing cross. Its a bit lighter silver than this picture and has drop bar levers as well as levers on the bar.. but other than that its pretty much the same.
