My bike was stolen back in Jan, through the help of a Facebook group it has now been discovered on Ebay. The sellers listings link back to Cash Generator on the High Street.
Anyone fancy having a nose to see if there's any sign before I head up?

Good luck getting it, a rare bike to have nicked.

Have you bought it through ebay to get it off there?

Hi spectabilis, I am the chap that spotted it on ebay and sent you a FB message yesterday. Any update on the frame and forks? Cheers Andy

Hello,
Just heard back from the police, they have located the remaining items at Cash Generator, Police have ordered the store to hold all related items and will seizing them in due time.

Thanks for the heads up I had just recently given up trawling the listings myself gutted we missed the forks though!

Brilliant news! As we suspected yesterday. Well hopefully you will get Frame, stem and Hope wheels back.

As I said on messenger, the shop had listed the more generic items first (pedals, brakes, chainset) and left the unique and easy to spot items until last. Rather than list everything at the same time. Makes you wonder why they did that....my conclusions are pretty clear.

The parts sold add up to £375. Have the Police said they will be giving you that money?

The parts were listed on an account linked to Cash Generator-Burton, after contact from the police it appears Cash Gen-Redditch branch (local to me) have responded to the police admitting they have the frame and that the bike was disaassembled there.

I called Redditch Cash Generator on a hunch soon after the robbery and gave a description of the bike asking if they had it which they denied I informed them it was stolen and if it came in to notify me, they took my details. Dodgy lying c-you-enties!

This is good news, I hope that the OP is reunited with the really rather splendid bike very soon.
