    Hi there, a cycling buddy was involved in an accident at 2pm on the 8th of November at Clonskeagh / Goatstown and a passer-by took charge of his bike (a black Colnago) as he was taken to hospital with a broken collarbone. Unfortunately he's lost his phone with the person's contact details. Please contact halsallf [at] staff.ncad.ie. or DM me. Thanks!

    If he put the contact details in Contacts on his phone can he not just check on his Google account on the web (assuming Android)

    I would suggest contacting the Dutch Bike Shop in Goatstown. They are super nice. They may put a poster in their window and folks might pick up on it locally or spread the word.

    ...or the local Garda station. Whoever has the bike may have contacted them when it wasn't retrieved.

    great news, especially since the bike drawing was incorrect (what colnago owner would place the colnago name on the top tube and not the down tube! tsk)

    Any pictures of the actual bike? I'm curious to see it.

    As an aside.. it's really tricky drawing an accurate bike from memory. I've tried. :rolleyes:
