Just caught a snivelling, cowardly cunt trying to strip my bike in Marylebone.
Realised as I was charging over screaming obscenities that cycling shoes are not ideal for fighting in, but he backed off so fast, apologising and falling over that I can only assume being confronted by a clown haired, stick thin six footer was not how the afternoons summery bike nicking was supposed to go.
I'm trying to get the morons running security in this block to give up the footage to post and the police interest so far has been one enormous shrug, so not exactly a great result but I do still have a functioning bike which is a blessing at least.
The reason I'm bothering to post this is the thief was riding a very obviously stolen blue and white carbon Pinarello and was clearly a pro, all bolts had been loosened on the bits he wanted and he was in the process of moving my stem up to cut the cables. So, if anyone has lost a Pinarello, or knows someone who has, I may have your man on tape.
...and if anyone sees a mixed race, 5'8" man wearing a blue t-shirt, white baseball cap and trainers on a carbon Pinarello, please give him a nudge under a bus from me.
