....and finally, No.1 son went down to the police station to retrieve his
stolen bike, as reported about a month ago.....the bike was stolen 2 years
ago, remember??...
The police finally decided they weren't going to progress with the scutter
in possession of it when recovered (he wasn't the guy who stole it
anyway)...the insurance company are quite happy for him to have it back, so
all's well that ends well.
As he was about to sell his Specialized Big Hit Down Hill, for far less than
he paid for it, he's stripping it of all it's costly components and putting
'em on the recovered Planet X Jack Flash frame and selling just the frame of
the Specialized. The scutters had asset stripped it and replaced with [censored].
As he's now got into BMX'ing instead of downhilling, all he wants is
something of a playbike rather than dedicated downhiller, so this is a more
cost effective way of bringing it back up to spec.
