Drunkenly lost my Serotta

So I have lost yet another bike. RIP

Got very pissed on sake last night at a Japanese restaurant and failed to return home with it.

It was locked with a Kryptonite mini outside the Bloomsbury Tavern at the top of Shaftsbury Avenue. I've just been back to where I left it and and there's no sign of the bike or the lock so there's a small chance I cycled it somewhere else and it's just locked up. I remember taking one of those rickshaws from a kebab shop on Charing Cross Road to my house so if it is locked up still, it'll be somewhere in the vicinity.

It's a blue/green Serotta with "Coeur d'acier" written on it although it's actually a Fierte (my own paint job), Alpha-Q carbon fork, Dura-Ace 7700 groupset and an Araya+Dura Ace wheels. Only photo of it I can currently find is this one below:

Only difference is new green/blue/silver camo pattern bar tape. I will try to find a clearer photo to post.

If anyone sees it on Gumtree or eBay or anything, or even just locked up somewhere near Shaftsbury Ave, please send me a message on here. I have actually had two stolen bikes recovered, one of them thanks to the help of someone on this forum, so I have a small amount of faith that I'll see it again.....

Many thanks
William

Sounds like quite a night 😅 sorry for your loss.

It was hectic. Thanks

I'll keep any eye out... quite an eventful night.

Holy shit that is some hangover

Strong echoes of this lfgss classic thread. Hopefully you have the same outcome!

sorry for your loss

Class night out, stuff of legend.

Have been in a similar state and have been helped home.

Bon chance on finding the bike complete

Any luck looking at Google map tracking your location?

Or if not, would bank card usage act as a bread crumb trail?

Good luck :)

Damn, that's terrible. My heart is still broken after having my Ottrot ST stolen many years ago. I finally replaced it by getting a 3rd hand Parlee Zero a few weeks ago. Finally back in superbike heaven!

Cheers all.

Never have location turned on on my phone sadly but did indeed manage to retrace my steps by looking at my bank app. Not a sign of it though unfortunately.

Was just reminded about the bike sellers on Brick Lane, annoyingly missed it today but will be going up next Sunday to have a look.

Sorry to hear about your Ottrot. A Parlee's not such a bad replacement though!

I think I might go down the pub bike type route for my next one. Something I don't need to worry about.

Sorry for your loss. Can you track your smartphones movements last night?

Not sure I can because location and WiFi were both switched off. Looking into it though, might be something else on the phone doing tracking

Were you with friends who did have location active on their phones?

Basically after the restaurant we went across the road to the pub which is where my drunkenness levels went through the roof and apparently at some point I just ran off. Blacked out for a bit and came to my senses at the kebab shop/talking to the rickshaw driver. So I think if I had moved my bike it would have been during that blackout bit when I was on my own. Had a good look yesterday all round that area and couldn't see it anywhere.

Opted into http://www.google.com/maps/timeline by any chance?

A real shame that you’ve lost such a great bike and I truly hope you get it back… but…. also a really great return to a classic LFGSS-style thread of yesteryear.

Unfortunately not showing any activity for me on friday night

If I had a 6-pack for every bike I'd left somewhere after a night out...

I'd have zero sick packs because I need the bike to get to where there's more beer.

I'd never imagined you with a six pack

But you have imagined me...
