Well, some good news here... Neighbourhood watch recovered my bike. A bit of Strava sleuthing and I have Lucy back. Only missing bits are my saddle bag and tools and the Garmin Varia that came loose as I found that fiddly rubber in my garden.

Please share how you used Strava to find the bike?

As I understand it, someone I follow on Strava is on the neighbourhood watch and put 2+2 together. But selling a bike with a GX AXS groupset and a 1040 solar for R700 is a bit suspicious as you can imagine
