hey, thanks very much for all your comments and feedback.
to reply to a few questions, im not english and so i expressed myself incorrectly. sorry to have confused you with the 'caught him but couldnt catch him' thing.
i meant to say we saw him but it was too late and he had time to jump on his bike and cycle off. i guess i could have run after him but it was late, we were only a bunch of girls and im a chicken!
i had pitlocks on the front wheel but recently busted the wheel and the one i currently have is a replacement with quick release (real bum). he didnt take the wheel though (was locked). the bike was locked in front of my friend's house, kinda behind the wellington pub.
yeah i have no front brake but i have been thinking of putting one.
i'll have a look at dalston market and that little shop near dalston junction. thanks for these tips guys i really do appreciate.
cheers. s.
