The chap in the flat downstairs from me has had his bike stolen - it's a 1980s Raleigh Competition racing bike in dark grey/light grey two-tone.
It was taken from the hallway of our building on Lordship Park, Hackney N16 over the weekend, possibly during the day time last Friday - builders were doing work on another flat in our house and they probably left the front door open. I don't think the bike was locked, or if it was, with a cable... Feel bad for him cos he's only lived here a couple of weeks. Luckily I ride to work otherwise mine could have been half-inched as well.
Distinguishing marks: black fizik bar tape, pouch behind saddle. Not sure of frame size but I would guess about 54cm, either 501 or 531 tubing, original Shimano parts.
I'll try to speak to him tonight so may edit with more info/pics if possible. Otherwise please drop me a PM if you spot it... naturally I'll be telling him to check out the usual place...
This photo is **NOT **the bike in question but it has the same paint job - I've done a quick photoshop on the saddle and bars to match the missing bike...
Something like this on Gumtree right now. Found using bikeshd.
Good luck !!!
