Abandoned bikes

Indeed... You can always angle-grinded your phone number on the cycle stand!

This came up a couple of years ago, people said it is being ridden and they know the guy that owns it.

Nice big dent in the top tube.

Boooooooring

yeah soz.
Wipe some shit on the saddle and see if it's still there in a couple of days.

it hasn't had air in the tyres for months so it's not getting ridden now that's for sure

Well that's a shame, but tbh I wouldn't touch that frame with a shitty stick considering that massive dent in the top tube.

@amey was that top tube dent there when we say it? Still got pics?

I hope you mean lock picks. Some one save that beast pump up the tubulars and get it on the velodrome ASAP

I wonder if the owner died unexpectedly...

It's not that big. It's not in the worse location. Probably fine as a hack frame if you keep an eye on it.

But yeah, dents.

Would totally free that if I knew where it was. Probably best that I don’t.

Maybe he just completely lost interest in track bike and got a gravel instead. Or got severe amnesia.

If I were one of you guys I’d make a serious effort to find the owner and after a sensible amount of time free the bike.

Would be great if the owner did turn up. Hope they’re okay.

It is outside a train station under a shelter. It’s not randomly on a street which is probably why nobody has touched it.

@sumo mentioned that some people on here know the owner maybe they can help?

Me too. Let’s scout google maps street view for the next 2000 hours and go save it together

What do you think I’ve been doing all day at work...

Someone has added a third lock...

ha - i wonder if its someone locking it up for themselves to free later?

Surely if it was the owner he would have overcome his shame and left a comment here

I have got so annoyed about seeing so many knackered bikes near UCL (Byng Place) that I have made a submission to Camden council via the https://www.camden.gov.uk/report-street-issue?inheritRedirect=true 'damage to street furniture' page

Hey all, think this is the original owner trying to sell it? Or did someone lift it from the station, and now they're trying to flip it on ebay?
