My nice white fixie with orange-striped tires was nicked outside the pub on the park in london fields a few hours ago. it's not posh but i love it, ridden it loads around london over the last six months, and even to germany via belgium a coupe of times. bought it second hand and am no bike geek, so i can't rattle off too many names of the various bits, but here's what i do know.. . .
(I can't recall the brand of the tires, but I guess I'll find out Monday when the bike shop opens)
dirty white bar tape, white specialized seat.
frayed nylon straps.
left crank much shinier than right as i repaced it just last week.
the wheels are a bit too small for the frame / forks, which is why it has no brakes.
there are mounting brackets for a couple gadgets on the handle bars, though.
drop handlebars, a bit on the skinny side.
don't quote me on these, but i believe i had 47 teeth on the front and 21 & 18 tooth cogs on the back.
i don't recall the make of the rims, but the rear is a fair way off true. they're both shalllow (if that's the right word for not deep)
short version: white frame/seat/bar tape, bright orange tires
see y'all at brick lane in a few hours!!!!
if you see someone on this bike, yell "oi, tom!" and if the dude doesn't respond, open fire. ta!
I've got one to add to list :-(
