Hello, I would definitively go for It is Peter who has bought. If you use it was, you have to use bought instead of has bought: It was Peter who bought. |

I �d just emphasize the subject and say:
Peter has bought .....
or peter bought this bicycle yesterday ( time information)
but I would leave out "it is and it was" which don �t sound very English.
