As far as I know, there isn't really a re-sale market in Birmingham. It's just opportunist kids nicking cable-locked bikes and selling them for a tenner to their mates. In 4 years of working in a bike shop and being moaned at by customers, I'm yet to hear of anyone breaking even a basic D lock. It's *always *cable locks.
Stupid Birmingham yoots steal Halfords/Argos bikes wit bad disks an' suspension innit. They don't care if you have an infinitely more valuable Surly, low-pro or vintage road bike, because they are stupid thieving cunts!
