Another stolen polo bike

Stolen from a back yard next to broadway market last night:

Silver (but very stickered) Spartan track bike, yellow deep vs/tyres, condor/sugino chainset with bmx chainring, risers, 43x21 gear so they wont be going fast...

Yeah. Its my polo bike. For some reason I cant find any pictures right now, but youve probably all seen it..I lent it to a friend (because her last bike went under an HGV), and last night their house got broken into.

As usual, if you see it anywhere, stab the kid riding it in the eyeball from me, etc.. or call me on 07981 031 6two7 and ill do it myself...

Shit Jon :( Sorry to hear it. Will be keeping my eyes open!

That is not very nice.

thats shit jon...we all know what it looks like, it'll be found.

That is not very nice.

Youll be pleased to know it had my only remaining front brake too :) Can I have next week off now please?

Fucking hell...i know it's getting near xmas and all....but what's with the stolen bike epidemic all of a sudden?
I know your pain Jon...come for a kip on our chairs...you'll feel better for it..;)
My eyes are peeled!

it had a sweet banana wheel as well

Shabby. Will keep my eyes open.

eggpie's bike:

Silver (but very stickered) Spartan track bike, yellow deep vs/tyres, condor/sugino chainset with bmx chainring, risers, 43x21 gear so they wont be going fast but will have flames coming off the back wheel, so probably pretty distinctive.

it had a sweet banana wheel as well

Fortunately, Ive still got the banana wheel :)

Score one more for the brick lane stolen bikes market ..the polo bike is now returned. Much love to Martin from Brick Lane Bikes, who called me when I was still sleeping and hungover to tell me the chav kids in the market had my bike. Seriously, can we go down there with large weapons one week? I'm pretty sure none of the other bikes they had were theirs either. Anyway, thanks to martin and brick lane bikes, I got mine back. And thanks again to everyone else who posted or was watching out for it.

Now Im just upset they took off most of my stickers..

Christ. Glad you got it back! What happened? Did you get stabby?

result! glad to hear you recovered it, very good news.

Nice one. Shame about the stickers.

Awesome news.

i have some stickers that you can use until you get your ones back pm me if your interested.

so did you just come up to them and told them to give your bike back ?
and they agreed without trouble?

And they fixed my brake too..

inspiring tale

Nick, just saw this pic on your blog. The description says this was taken this weekend.

or is it an older picture? Because Andy is riding his stolen bike there. So either you're reusing an old pic, or a second stolen polo bike has been recovered. Hopefully the latter, I suspect the former.

t-shirts and greenery would suggest former, unfortunately...

Yes. Observation fail on my part.

Sadly its an old pic. Rest in peace andy's bike, Ill try to use a more chronologically accurate photo in future.
