My polo bike and my commuter bike have both been stolen off my locked fifth floor balcony. The whole thing seems absurd, they left another 3 bikes out there.
I've posted a thread in the General section, but thought i'd post here for you polo whores who never venture out. Most of you know how distinct this bike is, so please keep your eyes peeled. I'm obviously totally gutted and want it back pretty badly.
I need some more up to date pics of my polo bike - anyone got any?? I don't have time to trawl right now, but will try to find some from last weekend.
The migraine (in it's last incarnation with Todd, pic to be updated):
Red Raleigh frame, early 80s totally covered in stickers
Black Rigida DP18 rims to 36hole SJS hubs
Black Sugino Cranks
Small riser bars, Black bmx grips, left hand brake lever with skull head on end
Double double BLB steel toe clips on MKS Slyvan pedals
39 x 22 gearing
New Brooks Swallow saddle
Big red chunky BMX stem w/ deda quill to ahead adaptor
Oh and my frickin mallets were attached too.2 x Golf clubs with narrow Lucky heads.
My regular bike:
late 70s / early 80s steel Trek frame from US - not very common here, nice head badge, black scabby paintwork
Mavic Open Pro rims to SJS hubs (like formula but with tear-drop cut-outs)
Condor Sugino Uno cranks
Clear plastic BMX pedals with homemade leather straps
Campagnolo front caliper
Cut down Brooks B17 saddle
Alpina carbon forks
Big chunky black BMX stem
