Forgive me Tynan for I have shimmed
Last night I saw a German Mixte tourer that had been chained to the railings outside a favourite Hipster Boozer in E2. I had first seen it last Thursday, relatively intact. Yesterday its wheels had been "taco'ed", a fork blade had been almost snapped, the brake levers and caliper arms had been snapped. Basically a wanton vadalism rather than a serious effort at nicking it.
The reason it caught my attention last week was the bars. Belleri (I think) continental touring bars (a bit like moustaches), which i quite fancied.
This morning I stopped on my way to work, undid the the shite quill on there and took them.
I felt bad. But not that bad.
Shall I say six Hell Yeahs?
Edit/PS/btw the frame is still fine, if anyone's looking for a beater/polo/emergency frame. Twin top tube, quite nice lugs. About 20" seat tube at a guess. Had a half decent DLock on it so angle grinder needed. PM for location.
