Stolen bikes

Does this mean that people have 2 bikes? One shit one to commute with and a nice one for long rides? Where do you store them if this is the case? This is the only problem I have with getting a shit bike.

Yes. Some of us have more than 2 bikes. I store them all around the house.

yes, have a pub bike. Make it ugly. Even that doesn't help in the East End though. they'll nick anything. Shit bike=£25, Nice bike=£50 to a crackhead.

;) but to a crackhead a £500 bike = a £50 bike effectively.

I think the gf would go apeshit if I brought 2 bikes home. She's not best pleased that we don't have a hall as it is :)

You need to give your missus a slap in the chops and tell her how it's gonna be...

Or just the one, it possible to have a decent bike that look like a 'pub bike', it doesn't necessary need to be a shit one.

there's people here who end up having more fun on their beater more than ironically enough their pride and joy.

example of a beater (it got a coaster brake);

A repo man is always intense...

Haha - problem I had with my pub bike was:

Hmm it could do with a respray..
week later.
..oh I could put those old sugino cranks on there..
Week after:
*..well that miche wheelset is just sitting there doing nothing may as well use it..
Next week:
hmm that polo brooks saddle and bar tape would finish it off..

*Result : The Priceless Ralnago!

Spotted:

White Genesis Flyer, being ridden down Mare St towards Hackney Town Hall around 14:30 today. Probably stolen, as it was being ridden by a kid who had to sit on the top tube because he couldn't reach the saddle.

Hi All,
Hope you don't mind a n00b jumping in on the thread, but I had my bike stolen from my girlfriend's car on friday night in west ealing. tried the usual gumtree/ebay/bricklane but nothing yet.

cheers

Just had my Charge Plug (in small) stolen from outside a cafe in Victoria Park village, along with my friend bike, they were locked together.

We caught the f*ckers cycling off and chased them. They were 2 black 16 - 18 year old boys, one with an afro, both in grey tracksuits. Another kid with them jumped in a White Ford Escort and drove off.

Its new, I got it for Christmas. It is Blue, with a Brown charge saddle.
Any help on where I should look, or if anyone sees it please let me know!
I am gutted.

Did you get the reg off the car?

Camphones people. Use them!!!

Hey Sam, i think i know you.

Is this the bike i sold you the chrome risers to go on?

If so they weren't too common; chrome Azonic double walls with black ODI grips.
May help people identify it.

Hope you get it back.
