Stolen bikes

and a flat bar.

I've got a plain black Deda 'nologo' stem if you want it, think it's 110, maybe 120mm

Sano/jonny h + PJ and Pistanator thanks again help and generosity is much appreciated! PJ, may well want the post and bars, Pistanator what would you be asking for the stem and am i right in saying its A-Head ?

Nothing mate, they're only what, £10-£15 brand new aren't they? Just a proverbial(or real) beer...

johnny h according to my pal in London Firebrigade, Islington fire station was burglared in november and the tool they use for cutting people out of cars was nicked.
hence all the cut bars, locks, poles etc in the norf region.

watch out folks

Yeah, I have actually seen one of those cutters in action and it is frightening. A mate of mine who works in the actions unit of an NGO helped me out when I lost the keys to my bike, and it was locked up outside a pub. He brought along some cutters, we rocked up and they went through a kickass Kyrptonite lock in 4 seconds.

Also, worryingly, no-one in the pub garden even challenged us (although I had photos of the bike elsewhere to show it was mine, in the hope that someone would)

Pistanator will take that stem off you if still available for some brew money or equivalent. Same with you PJ, seat post and bars for brew cash or equivalent if thats cool. I have a borrowed bike at mo so can get around. Based in hackney but work in south ken lemme know if there is a day time place etc i could meet. Am willing to travel. Cheers guys

ok, i can pop them round later on. whisper me your address/phone

I had the rear wheel of my beloved fixed nicked from inside my front gate in Brixton today.

System EX 32H Flip Flip Hub
Surly 1/8" 16T Cog
Random 16T Freewheel
Laced 3 Cross
Mavic Open Sport Black 32H rim
Serfas Blue/Black 700/23 Tire
Specialised Tube

Built it myself so it has a lot of value to me. If anyone gets wind of it in anyway shape or form, please let me know

I am a copper and I have reported it, but with the available evidence, the specialist knowledge required to identify it and the amount of emergencies the police (especially in Lambeth) deal with, you guys would be better placed to spot it.

If it gets offered for sale and you buy it then I see you riding it, I may assume you are the one who stole it, you REALLY don't want that. Please spread the word too.

Thanks,

Aaron

stevo_com I am a copper

Brave considering the recent forum activity. Good luck finding your wheel.. and kick some thieving heads while you're out there.

hah, I was gonna say that!

ACAB !!

why be an english copper they dont even have guns!

I rather think that Brazilian Illegal immigrant's family might disagree with you there

dude my uncle has biger and more guns then the enitre met

"If it gets offered for sale and you buy it then I see you riding it, I may assume you are the one who stole it, you REALLY don't want that"

classic police speak. I'd well like you to see me riding it.

oh any one else who has that exact setup

I'm building one up right now

yeah, way to go getting people on your side there mate. I had a better back wheel nicked, the police didnt give two shits despite it happening 100 yards from the 5-0 headquarters

well at least some copper is feeling the PAIN now eh?

stevo: whether your a police officer or not i don't care about your wheel......you learn to talk to people properly then maybe you would get a positive reaction.

maybe it'll show up at the next police auction on brick lane

tomasito maybe it'll show up at the next police auction on brick lane

i hope he finds it after someone has bought it at the police auction does his you "really" stole my back wheel only to have to give it back later when they show the receipt.
does that sound bitter???? yeah whatever the police cared fuck all when i found one of my stolen bikes sold through one of their auctions. oh and the community police fuckers ran me over as well.

"If it gets offered for sale and you buy it then I see you riding it, I may assume you are the one who stole it, you REALLY don't want that"

That comment was meant to mean, I and my friend will be actively seeking it out when we see a single speeder or fixed wheeler and stopping people if we think we see it, not just running round like mercenaries. So, if you do think it's that wheel, it would be better to tell me, I am considering a reward.

It's not that the police don't give a fuck (some have become entirley disillusioned and unfortunately can give that impression) its that the amount of evidence to go on is unfortunately usually so low that there really is nothing to go on. No police officer like thieves, they hate them, they want to catch them. They should in all honesty look at available CCTV which from what I've read seems to be lacking unfortunately.

I have to say that I am a bit disappointed at the hostility I have received, besides hippy and rpm. I would have thought the community spirit that is usually strong between fixed wheelers would have seen more support.

but that comment was (certainly seen by some people as) deliberately accusatory and threatening.

you don't gain solidarity by bullying.

First they came for the Arrospok guy - and I said nothing.
Then they came after the po-po, and I said nothing.
Then they came for me - and there was no-one left to help me!
stevo - good luck with that - I've been looking for my nicked self-built wheel... my first wheel... (sob!)
