  • Leeds used to be pretty safe in terms of leaving your bike, as long as you had a d lock you’d be alright. There’s been a big increase in bike and component theft over the past year and with winter coming I thought I would try and wintrify and beaterfy the Argos. It’s been in progress for a while with stem and post being replace with system x, put some spare gators on (protection from the glass strewn streets) and some bluemels I had spare from a previous project instead of the hammered VO guards I had on previously. Finally replaced the c17 with an old selle campionissimo. Hopefully it looks shit enough to fool the thieves.

  • Top notch beater. I really need to build something sensible for winter.
    Has bike theft gotten worse recently? Last I heard nobody who'd locked their bike properly with a decent d lock had had anything nicked.

  • Reports of angle grinders in the wild now, and chavs with huge bolt croppers.

    Your donated torches are still lighting the way out front!
