Stolen from our workshop along with De Rosa R838 road bike and Breezer Lightning MTBRecovery Description
Social media really worked on this one. As the bike is a complete one off when someone local bought the bike (less than a week after reporting it stolen) and shared it on Facebook it was pointed out to them that it was stolen. Fortunately this person did the right thing and contacted me. It took a few weeks to get the bike back from the police as it was held as evidence for a while. Note to anyone who has had their bike stolen in the Southend area; the theif owns a 12 plate met gold VW T5 combi. I learnt this much from the guy who bought my stolen bike.
