    The police came around today and said that there's not much chance of seeing it again but never say never.
    I have sent them recent photos of the bike which will help as it was custom made and there's only one ever made in that colour scheme.
    The CCTV footage wasn't much help but was still evidence.
    They will place it on the system.
    There has been a lot of recent thefts he said and if I see someone on it phone 999 or just knock them off it! Lol
    Been down to the local cash traders shop (smack den/hide out everything nicked shop) and nothing.

      Fingers crossed that you get a call or it shows up.

      What about printing up some fliers and posting them on street poles, and offer a small reward for its return....cant hurt, right.

        Things like this really sadden me - utter scumbags to steal your only mode of transport; the sad truth is that you may even know the individual that has taken it (if only by sight), as they obviously knew the bike was there one way or another.

        Hope they get caught red handed with it, and you get it back in good nick mate.

          Sorry to hear of your Stolen bike,
          Put some flyers out but do not mention its value
          Seems it was stolen to order rather than taken on chance

          Only thing now is to get a free one off Gumtree, until you have the wherewithal to buy a tailor made again to get you mobile

            Bar stewards!

            I have a really nice Merlin here, not used for a year or so and I don't think I'll use it again soon. Your welcome to it mate. Don't know how you would get it though?? Same as this but with ogi grips, bit of carbon fibre and a few upgrades.

              @al n that's a very very kind offer but I think it will be too small for me looking at it!
              I'm nearly 6' 3, again thank you again for your very kind offer.
              I'll find something I'm sure :blue thumb:
