Brick Lane's a fucking dump and I wouldn't leave a £150 Halfords bike around there let alone a half decent fixie. I walked with my bike/cycled around there for the first time about 3/4 months ago and I must have been hassled about my bike( 'alright mate, wanna sell it?', 'I nicked one like that last week' etc) by all the scummy smack'eads, alcy's and tealeaves about 5/6 times
All the toerags round there know that fixies are the new thing to nick, like bees round honey.....
Feel shit for what happened mate but there's a lesson learnt there.
On a similar note, all this fixed hype is coincidental to BLB extortionate price increases on everything they do!
Bought a goldfinger from there 9months ago for £9. My mate went in last weekend and bought the exact same one for £15.
Chris King headsets for £120!! Deep V's £37, Nitto stuff way overpriced
I know for a fact that they buy Dolan frames for £40 yet sell them at £185+
Tidy little goldmine!
