STOLEN CREAM SURLY 54cm WITH GOLD REAR DEEP V
This is my friend's bike, he left it outside his flat door on the second floor of his estate in London Bridge and we reckon a couple of the teenagers living there made off with it.. most probably his own neighbours, but then this is London.. selfish, dog-eat-dog London. Anyway, the thing is it should be easy to ID if it stays as it is - it's a cream surly but has a gold rear deep V and the front is a shimano road wheel with QR. It has risers with black Odi mushroom grips. Here's a picture of texas riding it as an emergency bike in the Swaintoux early this summer:
not the best photo but you can get the size from it and roughly what it looks like.. personally I'd know it if I saw it. He's a lovely guy and is feeling put out by it obviously, and the fact it is 95% sure it's his own neighbours has made it even more sour. Anyway, it went missing Sunday early morning, he didn't realise until around 11am so god knows how many hours of hustle time they had to shift it - point is it's highly unlikely another Surly like this exists so if it turns up on gumtree or some little twat is riding around on it it would be good to know. please pm me if you should happen to see it anywhere.. thanks for your help.
