I spoted a really dodgy fella down Lower Clapton Rd., typical geezer (±35yo) Reebok Classics, colars up, etc... Bike: Langster (maybe a 56, 57cm), white handlebars (risers, uncut), running as SS but had another fixed cog, oh... and SPD's. That's where I saw everything was wrong.
I was next to hackney Baths and this fella was on the bus stop, a Police car was passing by, at the same instant he just tried to cover the bike with his body, the Specialized big decal.
I stayed around a bit more to try and see where he was going, he lives just there. He got on the bike and could barely touch the pedals, maybe didn't know that seatposts are adjustable.
I feel bad for 'tagging' people like this, but that guy had a bloody nicked bike with him, and couldn't even disguise it.
