Stolen bikes

Anyone had a gold/black Bianchi 928 gone missing?

There was a singlespeed conversion being ridden down the pavement on the New North Rd y'day. Had a chain tensioner, gold chainring, black cranks?

^^Dad?

Somewhat Suspect given the prices that other Nirone's are listed at. plus the description- must be a thief or a true nodder

And te4h others looked suspect too, particularly the pearson and Ye Olde Geoff butler...

Certainly an odd listing...

It is complete with** carbon fibre throughout the frame**, forks and drink handler coated with aluminium. It is** fitted** with** liquigas for excellence**.

I myself am fitted with Liquigas for excellence. i find it helps in weather like this. And I can certainly handle my drink

Not sure the Pearson is that suspect though, just cheap I'd say. He knows what the parts are for a start.

The one in Mile End who writes in haikus has been selling stuff on Gumtree for years. If he's crooked, which could well be the case, he's done well to evade capture for this long.

haikus are 3-5-3

wouldn't that be:

decent bike
I promise you its
not stolen

^ I think Haikuman™
is legit. I got a new
bike off him last year.

He seemed like a bike
guy, judging by his hat peaks
jaunty hat angle.

you stepped it up to
five seven five, I see what
you did there, SAFE BRUV

Will keep my eyes peeled for your le mond xabel. My friend has one so my eyes are naturally drawn to it. Good luck on your hunt mate.

Thea did you ever find your Cinel?

spotted a matt black track specifi dolan, anyones? cant get a picture yet still trying

Selling Bike,
Confusing listing
But it's mine

Cycle Task Force cops came in to my shop (East Central Cycles) incognito today asking whether we buy secondhand bikes. Of course we said 'only with a genuine proof of purchase'; then they revealed they were cops. They seemed really sensible and helpful, and genuinely enthusiastic cyclists who know their bikes too. Good to know they're on it: bike crime is terrible round here.

the suspected stolen dolan i mentioned earlier is now on ebay on a one day auction

all listings since Christmas time (approx 40-50 bike items he's sold) are 'private'. In my experience of ebay (around 10 years) the only sellers that have 'private' listings regularly are dodgy.

Under 2hrs left on this. Anyone?

cheers scott.

i tried cycletaskforce but there has been no reply to the message i left.

42mins remaining

the market trader who sold the dolan is the same person who sold the stolen koga that was recovered up thread.

Gerald, the CTF can't follow up every theft report. They do monitor eBay and Gumtree listings and gather evidence, though. I think they also log reports like this that they get. As I understand it, if no owner comes forward there is often nothing they can do, as at minimum they need a theft report to take action. It may not be possible to save this one, but keep your eyes peeled--better opportunities will come along, I'm sure!

Erm...
