Lewisham/Greenwich cyclists

[Flyingfox]

You may not have looked at the Stolen Bike forum where I posted my stolen commuter bike - a Kona Dew Deluxe - on Monday.
Unfortnately the guy who was selling it on Gumtree sold it yesterday before the police could act.
Therefore there is a good chance it may have been sold locally - so could you please look out for it on your commutes (you never know).
It has Raceface bars with Ergon grips and compact bar ends which make it quite distintive, and a sparkling new chainset.
I've attached a photo but unfortunately it is not terribly clear.

Flying Fox - do you want me to punt this up onto the Lewisham and Greenwich yahoo groups?

Am so sorry to hear about this.

 

[jonny jeez]

can the police not even go and question the seller?

how frustrating, really sorry to hear this, I shall keep my eyes peeled but don't actually know what to do if I spot something that looks "like" your bike...Short of confronting anyone on that type of bike... could be a long ride into work.

If you could put it up on the groups that would be great, you never know someone may know someone who has just bought a 'new' bike.

The police said I should contact them, so if you do see it and/or someone riding it perhaps you could PM me with 'where/when etc.' and I'll contact the police. They are going to get a warrant as they have a good idea where he lives and he has a few 'dodgy' items up for sale, so maybe he'll get done for something else if not my bike.

Sorry to hear about your Bike, I'll keep an eye out for you. Can you post a better picture?

I'll keep an eye out for it but just to be sure - the photo isn't very clear and seems to give it a pink tint - is it light yellow or orange?

At least he can tell them who he sold it to. Nothing for him to lose there.

Thank's all, it has metallic bronze/gold paintwork, disc brakes, Raceface flat bars, Ergon grips with compact bar ends, 1/2 - 3/4 mudguards and a Zefal black bottle holder. Unfortunately I don't have a better picture. Jezston, I don't think he would be the type to take a name of who he sold it to!
