Stolen bikes

Stolen from our garden shed in Stoke Newington Saturday night. I'd appreciate it if any spots it anywhere and lets me know. It means a hell of a lot to me, as I'm sure you all understand. It was passed on to me by a friend (previously posted here https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/233192/#comment9615557). Condor custom frame fillet brazed fixed (colour: Bob Jackson Verdi metallic green).

Also stolen was a Thorn Nomad, red, med sized frame, black rear rack.

Thanks,
Evin

My very large Moser was stolen yesterday from our hallway in Nunhead / Peckham Rye area.

Would appreciate any reported sitings a lot, as bike is of sentimental value. Fingers crossed + tips welcome for where I might go to seek it out besides Brick Lane..

🙏🏼

Its a long shot but maybe someone knows original owner. Tried to contact the owner through stolen-bikes.co.uk but so far no answer. Its on classifieds page and i believe it will not stay there for a long :(

My mate's bike got nicked outside South London Gallery between Peckham/Camberwell. Claud Butler. Notable bars. Anyone sees it, let me know. Cheers.

Beautiful and really distinctive two-tone blue Brompton (M3, 3 gears) was stolen last night from outside the Barbican (silk street) while I was at the theatre. It’s my sister’s bike and it was a gift, so I feel awful. If anyone comes across this bike I’d be infinitely grateful if you could let me know. Contact: 07403301878. Thanks, Tash

This Geoffrey Butler was supposed to be thief-proof due to beater disguise. Stolen nevertheless last night from a garden in Caldecot Road, Denmark Hill. Grateful for any sightings, it is of sentimental value (frame was bought on this forum from the member formerly known as Brother, latterly 1922, the originator of the famous Pitlock thread from a decade ago).

Appreciate this comment is not helping & its shitty to have a bicycle stolen but if the lock on his bars in the photo is what he was using surely only a matter of time before it got stolen

I know this isn’t going to help much, but what on Earth were you doing locking a Brompton up outside in London for a few hours? They fold for a reason, and the Barbican has cloakrooms that will take them, I know, cos I’ve done it.

Never, ever leave a Brommie locked up in London, anywhere.

You’re right, that is unhelpful. Also the Barbican does not currently have open cloakrooms - Covid.

I built this bike for an old friend of mine which was stolen last night from his garden in romford, I don't have any good photos but it is very distinctive, Haiku bikes custom all black frame and fork, extra small size, 20speed XT with disc brakes 26" wheels, custom front rack and full mudguards.

I fixed up this Boardman Comp Fi for a friend who is just finishing her PhD at UCL. It was stolen on Friday 9th July from Gordon Square. Kryptonite Fageddaboudit locking chain cut clean through. Has a BikeRegister tattoo 01869198854 on the downtube, locking skewers, locking seat clamp, and Crud mudguards that have some stainless fittings replacing the usual plastic nuts. She's absolutely gutted. Please keep an eye out!

My mates Sunn Bmix was stolen in Catford.

Damn, cool bike, hope your friend gets it back

Great bikes those! Hope he gets is back.

Yeah, me too, and thanks!

It used to be mine so it’s extra sentimental. sold it to him for peanuts, and he used it a lot :(

Dunno if it's actually been stolen but a frame we made and had back to repaint and send back to Belgium has gone missing with UPS, last tracking ping was a London warehouse, it's a bit distinctive so if anyone sees it let me know.

Have found with couriers if something gets damaged its 'easier' for them or their insurers for it go 'missing' then it is to be delivered damaged.
Recently had a very large amount of custom made items go 'missing', literally bright pink, white and black boxes on a pallet each. All of them to go missing, just doesn't happen. Ordered fresh ones, months waiting for them to also turn up, finally NEW items turn up, and ONE of the original order miraculously turns up, written on the side in sharpie 'only send this 1/7', and it wasn't from the sender.

HHV Chairman's bike stolen today. Blue Ribble CGR. Some very clear images of the thieves too.

Brentford police have found quite a few bikes.

My girlfriends bike was stolen today from University Hospital lewisham, Catford, where she had just finished a 12 and a half hour long ass shift.
It’s a 2017 Ridgeback Supernova disc, silver/grey with a pannier rack on the rear. It’s a pretty standard hybrid but in good nick, hydraulic disc brakes, with a few superficial scratches on the frame and an old Aberfeldy triathlon sticker on the seat post. First pic is from a few weeks ago, badly cropped barely in frame. Second pic was taken shortly after it was first bought
Anyone in the lewisham or SE London area please keep an eye out.
Cheers.

Fingers crossed for him.

Always surprised me that people leave their multi thousand pound bikes unlocked and unattended at HHV.

Someone stole both my red Ambrosio Balance wheels inside my gate in Stoke Newington (it was locked).
Here is the original listing: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/321010/

If anyone sees them please let me know! Also if anyone can help me buy a new wheel set that would be appreciated as I am not that versed in buying parts......

Sorry to hear - it's annoying when this happens.

Wheels are standard 700c diameter so easy enough to replace.
Front wheel spacing is standard at 100mm
Rear wheel spacing is 130mm so that's what you need to look for - you can get a rear wheel that takes a freewheel or a cassette.

Unfortunately it is likely that the wheelset with rim tape / inner tubes / tyres / 7 speed freewheel or cassette will set you back more than what you paid for the bike...

Hey I totally agree with what @Vince has mentioned regarding sizes but I could possibly help with replacing the wheels without too much money as I have a set of nothing special wheels and they even have red rims I have a shimano 7 speed cassette and I’m sure tyres and tubes that should see you get on your way again I’ll try and do all this £35
