ooft - sorry to hear that. i'll keep my eyes open. that should be fairly easy to spot.

It was insured, but obviously that doesn't replace the sentimental value. Think it was an oportunist break-in. Some prick that doesn't appreciate it will have it now.

Except Cyclesmith in Rutherglen, going by that other thread.

It was taken near Canniesburn, north of Anniesland. I went to the Barras this morning but no sign. It would stand out like a sore thumb there - I think this will be a ebay or gumtree job. Friends are keeping a look out too. Who ever ends up on it is going to be pretty obvious to folk in the know. Emailed the factory earlier to get a copy of the frame building serial to pass on to the police.

im cyclesmith in rutherglen,ill look out for your bike,and midgemckay,come into my shop i want to speak to you,you have no experience of stolen bikes from me,you came into my shop with a heap of a bike you had bought,i told you the wheel wasnt worth sorting,i sold you a minted bike,which i went outmy way to look out for,why dont you mention this,why would you be so rotten as to mention the bad,and not the good,and as i said before,i dont buy or sell stolen bikes,so if your bike is stolen,email me and if anyone trys to sell me it,i will retreive it for you,look forward to mseeing you midgemckay,and pleas come in and explain,why you are bad mouthing me,when i sold you a lovely retro bike.ah,ah,ah,ah,thats how i feel with all this rubbish about my shop.

hi this is the first time ive read this forum,as a friend emailed it to me,as he was shocked,that people thought i deal in stolen bikes,i honestly have never bought a bike,i knew was stolen,im really shocked,as for the gazzelle bike,i bought it off a person i thought i could trust,i was giong to keep it for myself,it was too big ,so i put the frame on ebay,when the guy said it was his,i told him it was in my shop,which i didnt have to do,as for your wheel,i didnt think you would comment on it,as i was so busy,and it would have been cheaper getting you another one,im really sick

I swear I saw some asian student with a white on one a few weeks back in Aryygle street too, though I was very tired, it was very wet and he had a posse so I wasn't in the best position to figure out whether it was or wasn't the bike in question (think it had white forks though that was main reason for leaving be).

Yeah I was going to say that it was likely westie. I know him from uni.
