Okay before anyone flames me, I'm partly to blame for leaving it outside with a pretty crappy lock- but hey.

Anyways, i would be grateful if anyone comes across one for sale or if you see one on evilbay to give me a shout- or feel free to leather the person riding it.

Here's the spec.
18" de-stickered matt ti 456, RS Pike forks with PIKEY instead of the PIKE, gold CK hub rear, Gold Hope ProII front, Silver Thomson Seatpost/Stem, Avid 5's, Black CK headset, XT groupset, Time Z Control Pedals, Maxxis Swampthing tyres, Sunline V2 grey bars

thing is SLW since it has no stickers, if you're not into bikes you wouldn't know what it was. Only sticker left was the one on the seat tube- 'Made in America to go fast' or something. Probably get advertised as American Gents Silver Bike .

Bad news...

Whilst I wouldn't want to look like I'm cashing in on your misfortune, I've just decided to sell my mint (ridden a handful of times only) 18" ti456 frame if you need to replace....

You can save a search on ebay, so that it emails you when new results match key words.

So you'd set one up searching for 'Pikey' in titles *and* descriptions in the 'cycling' catagory. Given that sticker is pretty prominent on an otherwise unidentifiable bike, it might be your best bet.

Ooops, I swore while trying to offer my condolences, i didn't think the word for pooh beginning with s counted as a swear still.

Sorry to hear that, that's a blingy build so hopefully get noticed, good luck with that. I hope you don't want your alpine back.. ;o)

Sorry to hear that mate. Also go post on the Bikeradar forum as they have a section for stolen bikes, and an eagle eyed bike tech from Bike Chain in Dumbarton road, got mine back for me after it was stolen from Glasgow Harbour. Guy who brought it into him for a repair said he bought it at Yoker market, may be worth a trip there? He obviously didnt know the cost of the bike he had, and the tech had seen my post on the stolen section there. So there may be hope! Also a run round all the local shops and you may get lucky.

If I see anything about Ill mail you ASAP.
