Nicked - brake and brake lever off my bike

Thursday night... bike locked up outside the Shakespeare pub in Stoke Newington. My mate noticed some fishy behaviour through the window, runs outside to see someone zooming off on a bike. Turns out he's removed my black RH goldfinger lever and black Tektro R720 brake, as well as someone else's saddle. Tried to catch him, but he had too much of a head start and disappeared off. What a cunt.

I doubt anyone will see them again, but just in case.

Anyone got anything similar that they want to flog me to replace, before I trudge reluctantly down to Condor? Cheers.

maybe god is telling you to go brakeless

Bad luck ! :(

Shit on the handle bars, shit on the saddle and . . . shit on the lever.

It's the safest option.

that's pretty bad luck :(

There'll be no stopping you now...

lol,

sorry to hear that man. Sucks getting stuff nicked.

I heard of someone who had their brake cable cut and a note that said "Ride it right". What kinda cunt does that?

This brakes my heart.

If I ever meet that robber Ill tell him to lever you alone.

Bad luck ! :(

• A moat of piss all around the bike. Just to be sure :)

Fuckin hilarious if ur mates, otherwise fairly shit thing to do

the sort of cunt that's completely missing the point. any kind of point.

the sort of cunt that's probably never raced at a velodrome, which is where brakeless fixed riding is "right"

although it sounds like a bit of an urban myth, did you hear this first hand?

Our friend Buffalo Bill had his front brake nicked this week. And some bastard saw his bike locked up near Creative and left a note on it saying 'get a brake you hipster'. What sort of a wigancunt would do that?

This brakes my heart.

I'm trying to block it out.
Whoever did it needs a good shoe-in...

I think you're just compounding the problem. Though I don't want to rub it in.

Would challenging the thief to a dual compound the problem even more?

lever't out boys

Fucking thieves feathering their own nests.

groan

Sometimes these cunts make everything go pear-shaped, and leave you over a barrel.

Low life crimpinals.

Maybe the theives had been watching this:

Bad luck, you could just as easily lost the stem too.

I'd caliperson who did that a twat. And brake his fingers...

And make sure he toed-in the line?

It's adjuster fact of life these days.

This needs disc-ussing...

thieves should be locked up
