Stolen bikes

Best to keep scouring gumtree etc.

Off topic, does Tom still work at Trullo by any chance?

Saw these guys in front of the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square this afternoon. There's always a chance it could be legit, but they didn't look like fixie skidders and I haven't seen Kestrel Super mixed with cycling since the Bridges Ride. Couldn't get a better photo because they weren't too friendly.

Black bike, no branding that I could see, brakeless I think, with black bar tape, deep section Mavic rims, clipless pedals, and a colourful water bottle. I tried to post this this afternoon when it might have been slightly useful to someone, but the internet where I was wasn't working.

I saw these guys on sunday afternoon too. Maybe they go there often? If so I'll try get some better pics I just remember seeing the guy in white shouting out drunk and random remarks to passer-by's.

Hi,

on Friday Night at 5am my chain snapped on my Colnago on my way home. This resulted in my nose breaking as I hit the floor and unconsciousness. I awoke in hospital to be told that my bike hadn't been taken with me or collected by the police.

It is a Colnago C91 in Purple,
Campagnolo Record 10sp carbon Groupset,
Campagnolo Delta Brakes,
Brookes Ti Swift saddle,
ITM Marathon bars with black lizard skin tape,
Halo wheels
There was a carradice saddle bag on the back too.

Really sorry to hear this. Hope you're better soon.

At least you weren't hurt terribly badly.

gfdrgh is jokes

That's awful - hope you heal up quick and the bike gets found.

Probably not the bet place for this: http://www.londoncyclist.co.uk/site/new-channel-4-documentary-is-looking-for-someone-whos-just-had-their-bike-stolen/

Yesterday evening I actually stopped someone near Aldgate East riding my girlfriends bike that was stolen back in October 2010.

In hindsight what I should have done was call the police straight away - but the guy riding it seemed nice enough.

I explained the bike was stolen from our flat (among 5 others) see this post: http://www.lfgss.com/post1723446-5221.html (her's is the resprayed blue Condor.)
That I wasn't looking to take "his" (our!) bike away from him, but that I would be interested to find out where he got it from (turns out from a friend who got it off Gumtree.)

Anyway, he told me his name was Brendan and gave me his (as it turns out - wrong) phone number. All very friendly. Anyway - as the mug I am - I let him go... but I would like to talk to him again and as it turns out - the GF would quite like the bike back too.

I did manage to take a picture of the bike as it is now, but unfortunately not him... (I know what an idiot I am!)

I'd like to track him down properly - so if anyone knows the bike, or "Brendan" could you get in touch with me... or let him know I'd like to talk to him.

He's about 5'9" with longish curly hair.

I'm kicking myself now - I know I've probably lost it again for the second time. I'd be interested to know what my rights were if this happened again.

you should have dlocked the bike and knocked him the fuck out

is this bike anyones? the price is too cheap for this, got me suspicious

rodabod, that is so sad news, will keep me eye out - I hope you get your bike

he has sold a few similar bikes, and always used the same name, so maybe not

it looks overpriced or on the money if anything

I was sitting on that wall about a month ago with my bike and that guy in white was there, he started talking to me about the bike but he was so drunk I couldn't really follow what he was saying.

If anyone knows where it could be I would really appreciate it, also please keep a look out for it on Scumtree or the bay...

Absolute result. Just had a call from the policeman on duty that found me on Friday night. Apparently when he found me I told him in my concussed haze that I had had my bike stolen, he has the initiative to go through my mobile phone to find a picture of my bike and send it to himself, then finds my bike (being ridden by a scalywag) and locks it up outside the hospital I was sent to. He wasn't on duty till today. So my bike had been locked up outside the hospital the whole time, and the person who he found with the bike has been arrested!

Unbelievably chuffed, and impressed with both the police and the general public. I can't believe a titanium swift, Delta brakes, and the carradice bag didn't get pinched.

WOW.

nice one.

Medal for that copper. Lovely result.

Absolute fucking winner.

Absolute proof that good coppers DO exist.. But him a case of beer..

needs to go into the epic win thread!! Fantastic!!

Excellent stuff.

Good news there

Just intervened in the sale of a lovely black Felt f4 outside Tesco on OKR- had distinctive red Look pedals and brown bar tape, the seller wearing trainers, asked him a coupla questions and it was clear he had no idea what he had. Called 999 and police showed up and started inspecting the bike at which point I left- PM me if it's yours as I have photos of bike and seller. And contact the police as they may have your bike by now!

good job!

Nice one inspector Katie-coo!
