The scrotes must have a summer holiday coming up, or else their benefits have been cut!

Good luck with getting it back.

I found it!

It was in Re-Cycle, the secondhand shop just inside Walmgate bar. I popped in the back on the way onto campus and asked the guy if he'd seen any blue On-One fixed gear bikes around lately, he led me straight through the shop to show me my bike. He then rang the guy they'd bought it from to get him down, so I now have his details and photos. Time to give the police a try.

The guy who sold them the bike is a large, middle aged, middle-eastern looking man called Abdol Sokari who gave an address on Siward St. Don't buy bikes from him!

Was it hanging on the wall in the shop? If so, you're lucky! I nearly bought it last night on my way home from the Uni!

There is still no news on my Cannondale. If anyone sees it around Dodsworth/Bell Farm/Huntington Road...

It is a black and blue Cannondale F5, RockShox forks, disc brakes. The only real distinguishing feature is the alloy rack I had fitted. There was also some yellow and green gaffer tape around the seat post.

I suppose all those will have been ripped off by now but you never know!
