Ok all, thankyou for your support. Have talked to Pepo on the phone, he was very apologetic and I believe his story. He's returning my wheels to me free of charge in half an hour. Will post again when I have them.

so this week you are bringing steaks to easts I heard?

keeping in with the theme of bikeshops dealing in stolen goods, does anyone have any info on the recycles shop in Elephant & castle? I had my DMR mtb stole from outside college last October and found it in recycles around 20 minutes after it had happened. Thanks to some passing policemen i got it back, no problems. The vulgar woman behind the desk had openly paid 60 quid for it of some youth about 10 minutes before i got there. No receipts asked for or anything. The police didnt want me to take it any further as they were planning on building evidence for an investigation into recycles.

Anyway i had my Traitor track bike stolen a few weeks back (see a couple of pages back on this thread) so i ventured in recycles to peep around today. It wasn't in there but i did overhear the owner boasting to his friend about buying a couple of Cannondales for 50 quid a piece which i could visibly see he was selling for 500 each.

So if you have lost a White Cannondale Road Bike or a White Cannondale hybrid with a lefty fork you know where to find it.

I truly hope the police close that place soon.

You have made an important error:

Recycles is a reputable bike shop in Surbiton.

I believe the shop you're concerned with is Recycling.

Hey first of all i didn't know that they were stolen i bought them for my self second of all i wanted them for my self but than relised that its maybe not right if i bought them there for price like i did I'm more than welcome to help with anything about

So at the point you had the thought these are too cheap maybe something is not right you decided to shift them on here at 50% mark up on what you paid for them.

Looking at how many wheels etc you have shifted on here you knew exactly what you were doing.

WAC needs banning imo.

Might it be worth reporting Pepo and all his for sale threads to the police as I imagine a fair bit of what he has sold has been reported stolen?

Wheel are back with me. Pepo seemed genuine and a little embarrassed and I'd like to thank him for being honest and returning them to me.
Thanks to everyone for your posts - all most appreciated
