yeh i wish i was but got uni deadlines in Brighton, it sucks man....

don't have any from the last few years... never was one to take photos of my bike

Just seen a Planet X carbon with it's cockpit stripped on Euston Road; clean cable cuts and stem faceplate removed

Chinese matte carbon frame with very noisey hunt wheelset just disappeared from Camberwell High Street. Sigh. Hopefully you should hear it from a mile off.

Tyres recently changed to Michelin Endurance wheels with grey bands on.

What is going on in SE5/15. Last couple of pages seem centred around there.

More nice bikes in Peckham these days?

My Dolan pre Cursa just got stolen on gracechurch street. Black, few stickers on the frame. Silver front rack. It’s my work bike so if anyone sees it please please shout me

My friend's Croix De Fer was stolen from inside Aldi in Walthamstow, yesterday.

No pictures of the actual bike but it's white and the slightly-older model than this one:

Distinguishing features:

• Wide, sprung Brooks saddle (brown)
  
• Nut and bolt used to secure seat clamp
  
• Pannier rack with two grey panniers
  
• Brown bar tape
  
  

Would appreciate a DM if anyone sees it!

That sucks- I shop there a lot but I presume it wasn't locked in any way?

Dang and fuck it
my bike was nicked today from outside my flat in Archway

Sparkly red Geoffrey Butler touring bike
600 tricolor groupset
Tektro 720 cantilevers
Fir Apollo wheels
Rack
Shitty saddle and bar tape

Will try find a better photo
If you see it, let me know!
Thanks

I saw a "dubious" looking type riding one of these on Walthamstow Marshes this afternoon. Same size.

just spotted this on gumtree and looks a bit suspect.... looks like yours but its been painted black...?

Surely that’s not the same bike

the sizing, kit, details check out but, even if you ignore that ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING has been sprayed that same colour (rims, tyres, cables, seatpost &c &c) the fact the Gumtree listing quotes the marque with no evidence of a logo, kind of pushes it towards ‘it’s the same bike’ (for me).

I heard you, changing the black bar tape and then spraying everything black and all for £100 but totally agree with all you say just baffling

Looks the same to me. The whole thing seems to have been sprayed black (including the tyres?!). Rims, saddle and even seat post all seem to match @t.hall 's bike

I didn't need to see that right before going to bed...

What the hell is wrong with people.
It's the same bike, it was fucking fine as it was.

Does rattle can come off easily?

Thanks @vilms5000 @littleK @Settle @nonowt

I feel your pain @t.hall and great spot by @Settle

Listing seems to have changed as of this morning.

Looks like the image is hosted on eBay

So maybe there is a way to find out the account.

Love that the spokes that must've been behind the fork at the time of spraying are still silver

Someone please tell me there's a rescue mission underway right now?

That’s just hosted on gumtree (they’re owned by eBay)

Oh wow, I never knew that.
