I remember when my old Inspector had his Orange nicked. He was a p&$@k so none of us looked very hard... or at all in fact!
Cracking result, and a salutary lesson - a lot of the kit that gets recovered is never linked to an owner due to lack of identifying marks, owner not keeping serial numbers etc.

Ishaw, I've stripped it down for a clean up and ponder what to do with it.
It has about half its paint, but then it's been like that for a long time
Rust will clean up just to get rid of the worming bits, I need to take more paint off really.
Its just finding somewhere not to expensive, that can do similar tough finsh. This was Imron paint and is only off where big scrapes or my digging through to rust has removed it (to cover in kurust.) Functional but not pretty.
The stuff on my Kona an Argos finish apparently, is a bit shite in comparisson.
I would powdercoat but reports so far say they cannot do the colour junction with a sharp edge (odd as RM did it in '92 onwards) and I want decals under top coat as they are now.
I might put it back to retro from it modern brakes and mechs.
SL steerer is the main part i'm after

Result!
must be the season for nicking bikes, had a few round my way go in the last few weeks. My mate found his Lapierre for sale in the local Cash Converters!!
Needless to say the numpty who nicked it is now answering to the Police on several counts of theft
