I suspect it was the Brooks that attracted the thief,apparently there's a large market for them on Ebay.

Yes maybe it was a very worn one .....I think the word is patina ....
Re: Stolen Black FW Evans Tourer N London
sorry to hear this.
can you post a pic?
Are we allowed to ask how it was locked?
If it's as venerable as you say, more likely to be sold on locally/within london?
Have you posted an alert on here:

Re: Stolen Black FW Evans Tourer N London
Image and detail bike doesnt have much value but to me priceless
Re: Stolen Black FW Evans Tourer N London
any pics of the bike on rides?
Might help to fix it in folks' minds, particularly in view of the bike's apparently minimal markings/brandings.
I would think there is a fair chance it's still knocking round London.
Though hope it hasn't been broken up

Re: Stolen Black FW Evans Tourer N London
Was it locked? to anything? with which lock?
Re: Stolen Black FW Evans Tourer N London
Steve, that's awful!
I'm really sorry to hear that.
I expect you will already have given a description and frame No. to the police, local cycling groups etc.
Maybe take a tour of scrap yards and junk shops canal towpaths etc.in the vicinity.
Did anyone at the store see anything; security cameras etc.?
Flogging is to good for him etc.(for it will have been a him that took it).
