Stolen!

Ok, came out of the Scots head pub in De Beauvoir to find my bike stripped. My H+Sons silver rims on custom orange Goldtec hubs see attached pics, nitto seat post and my brooks honey B17 saddle gone too.

As you can imagine well fucked off....

If anyone see them or hears of them for sale let me know. The wheels are one offs built my the good man Arup.

Bunch of total cunts.

That totally sucks dude. How long you inside for? Will defo keep eyes peeled. Might want to post this is the Stolen Bikes thread too? Best of luck getting back on the road.

Sunday lunch, very tasty. Went in there about 2.30 left at 6. Kept checking the bike was ok when having a fag which it was so must have been done about 5.30. They know the guy who did it as well. He's a young turkish lad who's been causing problems for a while. When they challenged him he came back with a brick at through it through their window.

London sucks sometimes...

blimey, that's really annoying, fucking kids nowadays.

Shit news mate but fuck me, locking a bike up in De Beauvoir.....!?

I know but the problem is where can you lock your bike up these days ? Well pissed.

That area is rife... my girlfriend and I had our bikes stripped outside the Huong Viat about 100yrds away from The Scolt

Sorry to hear. Always glad to see mine whenever I come back after locking it up.

how was it locked up, nothing through either wheel?

That area is rife... my girlfriend and I had our bikes stripped outside the Huong Viat about 100yrds away from The Scolt

I thought it would be hard to strip bikes locked outside the Huong Viat as you can lock them inside the gate / fence and anyone sitting at the tables near the entrance could see people enter and leave that area.

As soon as Parker get more of those Evo Minis in I am going to order one so I can lock both my wheels.

very frustrating - my girlfriend had her wheels nicked from outside the scolt head a few months ago as well, and a friend had his bike striped locked to the fence of the Huong Viat.

It has become so predictable it should be easy to catch the guy if someone has the audacity to confront him.

they know who the guy is apparently. might go at spend some time down there with a base ball bat.
Walked all the way home, tried to get a bus but it was a pre pay stop and didn't have my oyster on me so wouldn't let me on. By the time I ran to get my ticket he's drove off.

SO WALKED !

CUNTS.....

Yeah if anyone hears of the wheel set being sold then met me know.. there is only one set of them !
Gonna call a few bike shops in the morning and let them know in case they hear of anything. Also will go down brick lane next weekend.

I'll probably see them attached to some bike over the next few weeks. I feel sorry for that person as unless they admit they bought stolen goods and give them back they might well end up in the royal london by the time I've finished.

Not a happy camper and the brooks had just got really broken in too after a year. I hope it it hurts whoever's arse sits on it next.

Reported it to the cops?

Yeah called them. Awaiting for a call back with a crime number tomorrow hopefully. My worry is that although the bike is insured they might not pay out for parts stolen rather that the whole bike.

Anyone had to deal with this sort of thing with insurance people before ?

sorry to hear this mate, I remember spotting these on arup's blog and thinking how nice they were. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Cheers Mr Lunch. I'm sure they'll be spotted around if they stay in London.

Hm, I've only ever been on big forum events when I've been at the Scolt Head, but I'll be aware of this now. I suppose the opportunity is likely to arise when there's no-one in the beer garden out front.

slightly similar, I was out on my geared yesterday, I was in the docklands, locked my bike to a railing, took everything off, and locked it to the bike... got back, the only things I had not taken off were gone... The quick release skewers...

I mean, FFS...

Getting your bike stripped sucks, came out of the library in soton to find my bike missing the front and the brakes and the seat ... the cunts and they dented the top tube... that was 6 years ago .. still fucked off was only in there 10 minutes.

Just caught 2 16 year olds tryina steal a Specialized Tricross at UCL hospital. The idiot was trying to use the bike to lever off a lock, (which i think is ridiculous, one is hollow steel/aluminium, the other is solid steel - which one is gonna break first??)
I shouted "OI, I Dont think that's ur bike!". Bike stealer ran off pretty quickly, but his chavvy mate was giving me the ol' -keep walking b4 i beat u up. I dont think so. I'm twice his size and height.
Really wanted to citizens arrest at least one of them as i've had 3 bikes damaged by monkeys like them.

Shame on the 3 male hospital workers only 5m away watching the crime b4 i intervened.

Thinking about donning a bat suit next time.

or..

BUZZ LIGHTYEAR TO THE RESCUE! AND BEYOND

Good work Buzz !
