Sorry, not really a fixed-gear bike, but I thought I should post here after having my hub's bike stolen from our back garden while SIX OF OUR NEIGHBOURS JUST WATCHED A MAN THROWING A HEAVY ASS DUTCH BIKE OVER A GARDEN WALL and didn't think to come and tell us/stop him.
...
It's a green Velorbis Student Balloon, it was my one-year anniversary present to my husband, and some f**cker jumped into our garden, uncovered it, untangled and unlocked it from 2 other bikes, hoisted it over a high wall, and threw it down the other side and pushed it away. Again, while people looked on and did NOTHING. It looks just like the photo above, and was taken from Kentish Town about a month ago. I've been searching Brick Lane market and bikeshed but no luck yet. It's a pretty distinctive bike, and I hope someone might see it somewhere.
My husband has been reduced to riding my folding neon-turquoise 70's shopper bike with a white seat now...the poor thing.
