A bit of background: I'm that one bike friend everyone has.
Sourced the bike off gumtree a while ago for a friend getting into cycling. He locked it up outside a Sainos and someone tried to nick it in what is quite honestly the dumbest way possible.
They tried to saw the top tube. W. T. F.
Having not in anyway successfully stolen the bike, they left it (probably with a shed load of carbon particles in their lungs, teehee).
I rebuilt a new bike using the parts that were on it, and now just left with this painful momento of locking bikes up in London (Peckham, to be more precise.).
The frame is a 56 I think, if that even matters at all. The forks are actually in good nick, and worth a little I guess?! 1 1/8 - 1 1/2 I think these are. There's also a BB and some barrel adjusters still as part of the frame. But you can have the whole package for free. I taped over the problematic area, only removing it to take pics. Will tape over again if anyone actually wants this. The weave is pretty cool though not gonna lie.
If anyone wants to save this all from going to bike heaven/hell, please do so before I can be bothered to visit the tip.
Collection only SW15.
