Staff at Linn Systems Ltd said the bike was found for sale on an internet site shortly after it vanished from outside City Gates House.
CEO Fjodor Dzjuba said his wife pretended to be a buyer in order to draw out the people selling on the stolen bike and arranged a meeting, conducted by Mr Dzjuba and his sister.

Police then were able to recover the bike and give it back to its rightful owner this afternoon.
The company, which shares a building with the Observer, said they were grateful for the help and that CCTV would be installed in the car park.
