Spotted...

Wow similar model to mine but mines a different colour.

does it similarly have your name painted on the side???

Gorgeous red and chrome Italian geared bike, Columbus, Shimano 600 group, lovely, locked up outside the small Tesco on Shoreditch Hi St, been there a while, admired it every time...

...saw that yesterday it had been kicked in, had it's rear wheel removed and the saddle had been scrawled on in tipex. Someone save this poor thing!

Gotcha. I work nearby during the week and got sick of City pubs so head up there for a nice change.
Was at Strongroom a while back for a friend's birthday.

Cool, I mainly do daytimes. It's cool working in a Shoreditch bar that isn't on the Old Street run, I imagine that'd be hell.

Yeah I keep meaning to post about this. I'm pretty ignorant to frames so I've never heard of it (Bennichio or something?) but it's sad to see the rear wheel missing. Saying that I think it's abandoned, I've seen it there every day / evening / night for months.

I'm going to save it, and leave a note.

It's this one isn't it (with inferior components, thank god)

Apparently an '89 team bike

...and a similar one starred in this well-loved and over-posted video

Yeah it's that but with a Shimano 600 group and a shit saddle

Liberate her!

it,s not stealing if you are rescuing it

Spotted being wheeled through Charing Cross station last night just before 7pm. Head fuzzy and full of cold; it & rider were almost out of sight by the time I registered them.

Seriously playmobil!

anyone on here?

yesterday somewhere off oxford street round lunch there was a lovely pink/white mercian with spoke cards including a 50/14 one, i presume youre on here. you were riding with a geared. just saying hi:-) If you were watching your bike you when it was chained up, wouldve maybe seen me ride passed twice to look at you bike.

And the rider with the Leader and arrospok, at Piccadilly, it was fun riding behind you until i was caught at the longest red light in history. you have a beautiful bike!

Someone I know has one of those--what size is this?

I just spent the last day and a half in Zürich and love the bicycle culture there. Even in snow they clear the roads and people are cycling about. Half the bikes aren't locked and the ones that are use spaghetti noodle locks. I saw a gorgeous Fausto Coppi outside the Zürich HB train station with no lock.

And our friends' flat had dedicated bike storage outside their front door. Lovely.

stickered up plug riding clockwise in RP this arvo. (strollerenger with missus)

navy colnago with yellow decals midday at exmouth market. rad bike.
