Mark W Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 This is a bit of a random one, but does anyone know of anyone from the London area who's had a white, 2009 Inspired Fourplay custom build stolen? We've been contacted by a police station in London who say they've recovered one of these bikes as part of an arrest with a bike thief, and want to try and track the owner down. They sent us a photo of the spec and it looks like it's something like: Frame: Inspired Fourplay '09, white Forks: Unsure - curved blade, white, possibly Because Headset: Purple, possibly Echo SL? Bars: White riser bars of some sort Seat: Gusset Integral, black Clamp: Purple Echo SL (I think...) Pedals: Echo TR Platform 2010, purple Cranks: Trialtech Sport, black Front sprocket: Looks like a 22t TT screw-on sprocket, no bash Front brake: Hope Mini Rear brake: '05 Magura HS33 Tensioner: Fixed, single jockey wheel type Tyres: Holy Rollers front and rear Rims: Black, un-drilled That's all I can really tell. If anyone's got any info, either reply here, call us on 01772323333 or e-mail us and we'll try and pass the details on. Thanks! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jake. Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Great job to the police for recovering it! They usually don't seem too bothered about bikes, I hope it gets returned to the owner. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Found the person who originally bought all the parts through us, so at least the trail's warm 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andeee Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 Its good that the feds got in contact with you guys about it. I guess the bike could of had a tartybikes sticker on it for them to trace its history. Even better your trail is getting warm too. Lets hope this dude gets his bike back.

Sam Nichols Posted November 12, 2012 Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 It's pretty weird that the owner didn't report it stolen though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark W Posted November 12, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2012 They might have done but it might not tally up. Joel's bike surfaced quite a long time after it got stolen, plus the person who originally bought the parts from the bike lived in Dorset at the time...

MadManMike Posted November 16, 2012 Report Share Posted November 16, 2012 It wasn't a spell check, it was a joke which was lost in translation. I think his point was that this kind of thing doesn't happen often in England either, it's not normal over here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
