Stolen bikes

I don't think so, I usually cycle from Acton to Vauxhall and don't use any trains or lock up near one. The bike got stolen after 3 years of use because I forgot my lock and had to borrow one from security guards when they wouldn't let me keep the bike indoors at work over night. It's my own stupid fault.
I've not seen it on gumtree or ebay yet but someone is selling genesis's on gumtree with no picture and will only accept a phone call to find out more.

hm.
also, free flow.
this chap knows what he is selling.

This caught my eye

http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/create-fixie-2010/89065902

only because he mentions that 'all the gears are changing smoothly'.

Just a hunch

Check the description - almost identical. Fishy...?

Create owners probably think they have gears....

very suspicious!

them gumtree ads just prove how stupid people are

How sweet, every one of his bikes is a "beloved".Scumbag.

at least he had enough bikes lying around when he got made redundant

I had my bike stolen last week from Russell Square / Holborn.
Was a black Ridgeback Tourer with brown-taped drops and a black Selle racing saddle.

I know there's no real hope of seeing it again, but if anyone does see any ads for something similar it'd be great if you could let me know.

Now looking to take on my first build to replace it, so if anyone's got a cheap 58cm Reyonolds frame they want to sell me...!?

looks stolen from the price, the guy has posted quite a few fixed bikes on gumtree recently. might not be of course but just in case

^ "Single speed freewheel track bike", but with no brakes?

"This bike is very light, very fast and great to ride. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did :) " As he sped away from the owner... Think this needs to be reported perhaps. And it appears he fluctuates between a 54 and 58 frame size... Pegleg?

I can see how the other guy would have confused teeth with gearing if riding a readymeal like that... Probably thinks that a saddle is called a seat and handlebars are steering wheels

These anyone's???

Has anyone here lost a 56cm 2009 Condor Pista?

I posted a frame on gumtree, asking for swaps for a steel frame, and this odd guy called and tried to sell me it - a complete bike and wasn't interested in my frame at all.

He wanted £400 for a complete bike, which seems a little too cheap, and didn't know all that much about it.

Also said that he wasn't going to post it online which was a little odd

if anyone sees a Bright purple conversion with white alloy forks, road drops with brake hoods and white bar tape. Please let me know, it was stolen from crandall street, hoxton. It's my mates bike and is the frame in the pic below. He's only had it a few weeks and yes it was locked up etc. cheers guys.

Stolen white specialized Roubaix - please help

Grateful for assistance

2011 white specialized roubaix in the Islington area (Culford Road) - it has a Shimano front wheel and a Ksyrium rear wheel - Dura ace cranks - fizik arione saddle and Thompson seatpost and stem.

Absolutely gutted.

They sawed through a streetsign to get it.

I was at Brick Lane this morning first thing but no luck.

If you see it, please let me know. I'll pay a reward. My number's 07872348199 and my email's jhwooding@hotmail.com.

anyone lose an all black fuji bike? didnt get much of a look but it had chopped riser bars and gatorskins. dodgy lookin/sounding fella who was about a foot too short for it asked if i wanted to buy it at elephant and castle there. would have questioned it but my brain isnt working too quickly this morning

I built my bike from scratch. It was stolen last night from Old Street. PLEASE HELP ME GET IT BACK :( :( :( :( Defining features: purple LADIES Peugeot frame, flip flop hub and untaped charge plug handlebars put on upside down (they look like a moustache).

Please please please keep your eyes peeled for the bike posted above in Hackney and Islington area. I will give a big reward for its return or some information about the area any sightings.

It was made by me, for me, and the faults in its making are done on purpose for my own preferences. It is super distinguishable.

Contact me on williamslucyann@gmail.com with ANYTHING - whether you've seen it, or have an idea about where Old Street based bike thieves sell?

Thankyou so much :)

Oooh - we have a match!

yep... but where in elephant and castle? I`m living very close to e&c.

My beloved Globe Roll 2010 has been pinched. I had customised it a bit to make it look more fake-enger than Globe. I am a very sad panda, if anyone sees this around south London or anywhere else for that matter please do let me know, you will be rewarded.

It was black, with silver MKS pedals, sllver velosolo riser bars with cut down black rubber grips and two dia compe tech 77 brake levers, 100mm silver quill stem, a generic silver seat post and a black riveted saddle. I'd replaced the tires for a couple of Schwalbe marathon plus tires.

It went from outside Sainsburys in Clapham at quarter past eight this evening. How they got through my krypto mini I'll never know as it was nowhere to be found nearby.

I don't have a receipt from the purchase of my lock which apparently ETA require for a claim.
