Distinguishing features
Bianchi Sempre Carbon Road Bike Matte black with celeste detail in the frame & white ‘Bianchi’ writing. Size 55cm San Marco Seat Campagnolo Veloce Groupset with FSA front chainring Original black handlebar tape X2 Elite bottle cages Reparto Corse wheels with Michelin Pro4 tryres Shimano clipin pedals In very good condition, a couple of knocks to the rear of the frame where the chain has rubbed against the body. One very significant mark is on the top tube where the carbon has been damaged. Very odd location for that to happen as it’s not a typical place to damage the frame. The dent appear about a third of the way from the seatpost and is around an inch long.

Description of incident
Bike was taken from the bottom of Waterloo Place in London, it was locked opposite the Duke of York statue on September 11th 2016, next to where the team buses were located for the Tour of Britain. The bike was locked from around 17:30 until 18:15. As I reported it to the police a gentleman approached asking what had happened as his bike had also been taken from the same spot near to that time. He said he had seen the Bianchi just before 18:00 still locked though when he had returned to double check the area he only saw someone riding off towards Trafalgar Square. This suggests that this was a targeted area and the thieves took at least two bikes that afternoon. From what I remember he said he had a Ribble road bike. Police said due to budget cuts, CCTV in the area has been removed. Because the model is now discontinued and because of the markings especially on the top tube, this bike isn't seen too often on the road & online, so could potentially be noticed. The bike was registered (luckily around 2 hours before it was stolen!) with the police at their pop up stand at Trafalgar Square, therefore there will be a register number on the bottom of the frame along with the UV prints. The only thing not attached is the sticker they supplied deterring thieves as I never got chance to attach it. They said they numbers are indestructible, unless heavily tampering with the frame. Thanks
