Santa didn't bring what you asked for then?

He never got my letter. I accidentally addressed is to 'Satan'. I really should learn to spell.

Still, the buggering with a red hot poker for eternity was a nice little stocking filler.

haha that made me laugh my ass off!

To be honest, locking a bike up has several factors to consider. Firstly, no locking method is 100% secure, but the better the lock, the better your chances of keeping the bike.

Locks provide a deterent effect to casual criminals, and possibly to some more expereinced ones as well. Sheldon's method works at a practical level, but not as a visual and psychological deterent.

When a bike is seen, even from a distance, with a good lock going through the wheel AND around the seat-tube, it just looks like it will require more effort to steal. Vandals sometimes just yank a bike around the lock, and bend the chainstays. What a lark that is to the little inbred urchins. But it is obvious that it cannot be done to a bike that uses the seat-tube's width and strength as part of the locking mechanism.

Sheldon is right; a bike will not normally be stolen using his method. But I believe that deterring the crime at all, will lessen chances of attempts at the crime, and in the resultant vandalism.

Just my

thats 4pence, not 2 pence!

Yeah I 'member! Lovely day that, nice wintery sun. It's all over now, grim mid-winter monotone till Spring.

From The North Drinks Thread to anyone new or not who fancys it:

Hello all, I hope you have all had good NYs and Christmas's. Back to buisness now. Tomorrow I will be at the lamb on Lambs Conduit St for a slightly longer ride up to North Drinks. Most of the route is as normal but with a loop added on to the end. Meet at 6.30 and leave at 7.

Any new chaps to the forum or people who live north and havent come along yet are encoraged to come along for the ride and a drink followed by pizza. I fact anyone who just wants a ride is welcome. Route below:

Just stop hanging out with Tynan.

JAMIE what frame is that and where abouts are you located.
I could have swore i've seen that bike before.

anyone here own an all lumo green bike with a Carhartt sticker on it, and a bare steel bike. Both seen in london in a Carhartt shop, by my mate and i was just interested!!!....

Hi Rosmal, thats my COUGH 06 Langster COUGH, I had it sprayed last year to tidy it up (hide the obvious OTP I mean) - Im in Woolwich, ride up to Holborn each day via Charlton, Greenwich, Deptford, Rotherhithe, LB then through the city. If you see me, shout, something nice please. J

Defiantly doesn't look like a langster,
do like the logo on the front though,
and im pretty sure i've seen you.

what photos?? I don't see anything at all.

Rosmal, the logo is a sticker I got from MAGMA(?) just round the corner from King Edscobles place.

Condor?
And since when was he a king,
i wanna be a king...

@Ed, the photo's of Jamie and his bikerooni.

that what I'm talking about - I don't see any photos at all, nothing, zip nada.

Oh saw it, didn't realise it's above his recent comment, whoop!

great looking langster mate.

Rosmal, yeah Magma is a 2 min walk from Condor. Im afraid Ed was made king early yesterday, knighted by another forum member. Hows Prince sound?
@Ed, thanks buddy.

Blue Orlowski, immaculate, deep silver rims, white half grips, clips and straps. Spotted Eastcheap 15:30, anyones?

I fear this is the wrong thread for your kind inquiry sir!
