Mine was stolen today. The time that I locked my 'Bespoke' blue Mercian road bike bike, lugged and brazed, Reynolds 531 double butted tubes, with 10 mm shot in seat stays, drop handlebars, dark blue handlebar tape , with my two 10 mm diameter locks is about 2 minutes before 12.11 pm this afternoon when I took this ( now final) photo attached, of my bike today, Sat 26th Jan 2019.
The data; date, time, location, from my phone camera is in the attached photo file, but I've screen shot and attached the data too.
the frame number is , I think.
PM 169
Stamped next to this, on the underside of my bottom bracket shell 20BB3 3LS.
The bike has some very rare components.
Large flange campagnolo rear hub. 36 hole. Stainless steel spokes.
1 inch Campagnolo Record Headset .
Shimano brake levers
No gears..single speed.
Chrome Campagnolo top tube clips . Set of 3
Campagnolo Record cast drop outs. Brazed on carrier bosses, mudguard eyes and bottle cage bosses.
Andrew Hague Saddle Bag bracket and black Carradice Super C Saddlebag with red trim
Shimano Durace , single pivot, side pull, 10 mm bolted on brakes.
More common parts.
28 mm x 700 c winter tyres
Pannier rack and silver mudguards.
Single 42 tooth 175 mm black Shimano single chainset .
Black quill handlebar stem.
Single speed free wheel.
One silver, one black brake cable.
Spd Shimano single sided pedals.
Lamp boss on front fork, rhs.
Mercian transfers on the front fork.
Reynolds 531 transfers
Frame fitting silver pump.
Cateye multi LED lights

A custom built Mercian Reynolds tubed frame and forks would be around £1,000 new.
Made by Mercian Cycles of Derby. A specialist steel frame builder.
Some of the other parts are vintage and cannot be replaced.
But a new equivalent bike, plus saddle bag, locks , pump, Cateye lights etc, would be £1400 or so.
2nd hand perhaps £300.
My bike is 'covered' on our house insurance, but the excess is about £200 Plus a claim would mean higher premiums for several years.
