Hello FGSS people.
I've not posted much recently. It's nothing personal :-) With finishing university, starting work, etc. I've not had much time for forum lingering. And as I spend all of my working days at a computer, I try to escape the screen during my free time.
I hate to mark my return with bad news, but last night my bike was stolen. This bike meant a lot to me and was a labour of love, borne from months of scouring this forum for advice and parts.
It was taken from a council bike stand outside the Southhampton Arms on Highgate Rd in Kentish Town (map)
It went missing at some point between 6:50pm and 9:20pm on Friday 9th July.
It was locked up with a reasonably good (but obviously not that good) Specialized lock. The flexible kind with various different 'cut-proof' layers.
The broken lock was not left behind and there wasn't any sign of damage to the bike stand, so I'm inclined to think it was someone a bit more professional than an opportunist kid.
I'm pretty shocked that someone took it from a busy street in broad daylight, but I guess that's just London.
I'm posting it up here in the hope that someone may spot it. If you do I would very much appreciate it if you could drop me a PM or an email at mister [dot] keating [at] gmail [dot] com
I will try to reward any help as much as I can.
Thank you all for looking.
IRO Mark V frame with a 'distinctive' paint job and a recognisable repair to the headtube which you can read all about here (check out the photos on the 2nd page)
Spinergy carbon front wheel (tubular). Currently has a 'Hudson Mohawke' sticker on it.
Rear wheel has a System Ex flip-flop hub with a 20t Condor sprocket on one side and a 16t Shimano sprocket on the other (both fixed).
Miche Primato cranks. The newer ones with the super-ugly 'Miche Advanced' chainring.
Bright red Time Atac pedals. I don't think they've made the red ones for quite a while. I've never seen anyone else with them anyway.
Ridiculous carbon super-over-sized MTB handlebars (cut down).
Black ITM Stem.
Black Fizik saddle.
Black FSA seatpost.
Generic Carbon road fork with aluminium steerer.
Miche 1/8 chain :-)
Thanks again.
Sam.
