So it's nothing to do with illegal bikes rather then the police yet again being heavy handed with another member of the public

And not "facing the sack" either, just being investigated.

As long as I breathe, I attack.
Doesn't sound terrible! In my Fuji's defense that is with a rack and 32mm tyres.. it's certainly no TdF contender but did enable me to recover (amongst other things) 4. 4 litres of Guinness and 1.6kg of mayonnaise from the shop last night :tongue:

ok
had a look at it at last :smile:
mech hanger snapped
rear derailleur arm bent
wheelset 622x12 36 spokes over 3 kg weight
alloy fork
tourney front derailleur with frayed cables
shifters 2200 (?) missing shifter window
crankset 52/ 38
42 cm bars, bar tape ripped
saddle had a rip on the corner
After a little thought i have left it out for the scrap man as i would need to spend a fair chunk to get it rideable

That's fair - sadly does sound like a bit of a lost cause with nowt worth robbing!

it was gone within the hour, i reckon minimum of £50 just in parts to get it rideable .

Nice to get some swift closure. I had similar recently with some clothes; begrudingly the recipient of a donation, was clear they were no good so got them down the charity shop ASAP to avoid them becoming another burden...
