Are you @AlphaOmega??

Hahaha....he got more @Tijs...

As crazy at it might sound, my Brooklyn Big Link No8 which was stolen from my flat in London nine years ago, (as can be seen in my comments on this thread from back then) resurfaced on Gumtree yesterday!

Thanks to getting a heads up from a fellow Pinkbike member I saw the advert and contacted the seller immediately.
Despite him promising to hold the bike for me until today he went ahead and sold it...
Thankfully I'm now in contact with the buyer, and the police have re-opened the case and are now in possession of all the new information.
Hopefully this should see my bike safely returned to me, it's rightful owner as soon as possible after being missing for almost a decade! Big Grin

Wow, that must have been quite a suprise

Fuck yeah!Best of luck getting it back!

This is brilliant news, I wonder if I’ll ever see my old Santa Cruz heckler, it must be nearly 10 years since I lost that.

Fingers crossed, Scott, I wonder if they'll be able to trace what happened to it in those nine years.

It probably stayed hidden in someone's basement. Too distinctive/rare to sell without getting a lot of attention from people in the loop.

+1 for seeing pics when you get it back

Started stripping the Brooklyn and doing some testers for re paint. Using chemical oxide reactions to imprint Lettering on frame (doing testers with old vinyls though) what u all think?

I'll patina the Overall frame and accent the lettering

I like the look, not so sure how it'll work on a frame, with paint? Lacquer? Does the reaction 'rustproof' the steel?

Try it, what's the worst that could happen? Could it corrode tha frame? I've got no idea but wouldn't think so. If it doesn't work out just paint over it. DIY paint rocks

B is for balloon. Put some 40's on for a change. If the wheel is dead center I've got 2mm between the tyre and chainstays. Not ideal but I missed fat tyres.

C'mooon, do a picture with an even background! Looks really nice.

Let me see what I can do.

@voxelwise dope ! What bars are those ?

Looks like thumpers

Even background: check. You never said anything about image quality though so you have to give me a pass on that one. I actually went outside and cycled around searching for a well lit place. This is the best I could do with my phone.

Beast, with that gear ratio how you feel riding it looks tough no?
