m10 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Posted April 16, 2017 Faith in humanity restored. Thanks to a fellow Hubber Nazeem, I have been reunited with my bike. The bike was offered to him for sale and he immediately suspected it to be stolen. He got confirmation of this when he went onto the stolen bike section of the hub and made contact with me. Nazeem managed to get an address for us and we went to the SAP with this information. The bike was recovered minus my bar tape,bottle cages and polar computer. It would have been easy for this Hubber to buy, profit and/or ignore another's misfortune. The quote by Edmund Burke encapsulates my experience: 'the only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing' Thank you Nazeem for your kindness and also Lansdowne SAP for you quick response.
Prince Albert Cycles Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Theft of a Colnago deserves life !Good on you Nazeem .And hopefully is the perpetrator is spending Easter behind bars .
urbanroyal Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Lekka day ...Lekka ride...and now this good news. ....well done Nazeem ...????????????
porqui Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Great outcome !! Just part of life - we just accept it. Sad situation.
m10 Posted April 16, 2017 Author Posted April 16, 2017 Thanks guys. On a lighter note, when I got my bike back I needed to have my battery on the di2 charged. I last road on Sunday and had about 1month left before its next charge. Suppose the guy who took my bike must have really enjoyed the ride a colnago gives.I'm so glad to have her back, 3 days was just to long.
Mimit Posted April 16, 2017 Posted April 16, 2017 Great news. The world could do with more people like Nazeem.
