Message from Charlie.
“So there I am standing on a cold and desolate Hilsea train station after a terrible day at work, when suddenly my phone starts going mental….Before I know it has been confirmed that it is in fact my bike! I walked home with the biggest grin on my face! Big thanks to Jane, Strong Island, Bored and the fine people of Southsea who look out for each other. Still can’t believe it…..”
Yesterday Tom from Bored dropped me a line saying Jane from The City Council popped in to the shop to let them know she has been handed over a fixed gear bike that was found dumped in a bush. She was only giving a couple of key features about the bike up. its a charge and has drop handle bars.
Well happy days it was claimed. And as we all thought and hoped it was Charlies Charge. Nice one. We posted about his bike being stolen back on 7th September and 5 months later it pops up. Crazy. The power of the interweb and the local jungle vine! It really works.

I’m super chuffed for my little bro. The day it went he was white and shaky, and you could see the tears in the corners of his eyes. That bike is his child. What a result. Now if someone sees my black original Italian 50’s bike with basket and ‘Romana’ on the side…pinched in London, but you never know.
