Arse. Did that mean he couldn't ride? The powers that be should bring back hanging, drawing and quartering for bike theft.

Yep not only a stolen bike but a loss of greatly needed sponsor money for the British Heart Foundation.
The annoying thing is the bike is a unique build and there are not a lot of Surosa frames around so it will be easily identifiable if it pops up on gumtree or eBay which means its more likely split for parts.. and I fully agree with the punishment for theft not just bike's as there is no excuse for it.

Don't worry too much about the bike being split for parts, my bike was unique when it was stolen and I didn't see it for 5 months.

Then it simply turned up on gumtree as a complete bike... but had gone 250 miles down the road to London.
