Stolen bikes

If you search this thread, you'll see posts about some bike thefts from outside the Scolt Head, not from the railings, as far as I'm aware, but from the bike stands outside the entrances.

Anyone round Tulse hill had a silver mountain bike nicked (though it looked repainted)? I only ask because the kid was clearly struggling with the seat post (trying to lower it) when I walked past with my son. he was with another kid on a repainted apollo.

He was stopped shirtly after this by a WPC for riding down the pavement. She took his name/ id'd him, etc. I was tempted to pop over and mention about the seat but had to rush to get my son back for his dinner...

P.s. never buy a Phil n' ted's buggy. they wwegh a tonne and are as roadworthy as a Boardman on bricks

I may well have it completely wrong, but there's something odd about this ad.

The work of a Dramatic Hammer... ?

My dramatic hammering doesn't (usually) involve cast iron...

I know it's late but does anyone near aldgate have any bolt cutters? I've just found my bike locked up outside aldgate station and I don't want to move until its back in my possession

Put another lock on it?

I will be shortly, just waiting for the mrs to bring one down. I dont want to leave it unattended even, since it was nicked I'm a bit paranoid/ over cautious

I'd lock it and disappear... Come back real early in the morning tooled up.

You may not want to leave it though, in case they cut your lock off before you cut off theirs! :P

Only issue is, pretty difficult situation if they didn't steal it, but bought it off someone unknowingly, and come back to find you stealing it back hehe.

They shouldn't of bought stolen goods really, it's not too difficult to tell when things are dodgy.

Kick the fuck out of it then cry tenderly, holding it, knowing it was the only thing that could of been done in the situation, take a spoke as a keepsake.

I'm about to post a pic in the how not to lock your bike thread, cos it's back in my flat right now! (minus front wheel)

Hi all. My Team Raleigh Banana fixed gear (pictured above) went missing tonight (30/03/2012 00:00-01:30), while we were enjoying some brews 100m away, from my flat just off Holloway Rd.

It's relatively easy to spot, yellow, lanky frame, fixed gear, black wheels, red tyres, bull horns with yellow&black tape and a bar end front right side brake lever.

If you spot it around or on gumtree or ebay plese PM me ASAP

Thanks a lot, my fingers are crossed to get my first build (half from this forum) back.

thea I always see your bike chained up outside the restaurant and know exactly where you lock it.

I'll keep my eyes well peeled !

I was always wondering who it belonged to and even think I saw you unlocking it one day. I live just round the corner.

If you've lost a cinelli gazetta in lime green theres dodgy one for sale in Bethnal Green

Hi,

on Friday Night at 5am my chain snapped on my Colnago on my way home. This resulted in my nose breaking as I hit the floor and unconsciousness. I awoke in hospital to be told that my bike hadn't been taken with me or collected by the police.

It is a Colnago C91 in Purple,
Campagnolo Record 10sp carbon Groupset,
Campagnolo Delta Brakes,
Brookes Ti Swift saddle,
ITM Marathon bars with black lizard skin tape,
Halo wheels
There was a carradice saddle bag on the back too.

If anyone knows where it could be I would really appreciate it, also please keep a look out for it on Scumtree or the bay...

that's awful! Hope youre ok, and find the bike soon.

That fucking sucks man, wish you all the best getting it back - I'll keep my eyes peeled. Where were you riding?

What kind of scummy cunt steals a bike off someone who's unconscious on the floor?

Slipknot were right, people = shit.

I got my bicycle stolen from outside my flat late last night/early morning.

Very distinctive. If you see it, please contact me.

Thanks!

Sorry for reposting.. Was having trouble attaching the image.

just though i'd leave this here
There's a new Channel 4 Documentary that is looking for someone who has just had their bike stolen: http://www.londoncyclist.co.uk/site/new-channel-4-documentary-is-looking-for-someone-whos-just-had-their-bike-stolen/

Saw these guys in front of the National Gallery in Trafalgar Square this afternoon. There's always a chance it could be legit, but they didn't look like fixie skidders and I haven't seen Kestrel Super mixed with cycling since the Bridges Ride. Couldn't get a better photo because they weren't too friendly.

Black bike, no branding that I could see, brakeless I think, with black bar tape, deep section Mavic rims, clipless pedals, and a colourful water bottle. I tried to post this this afternoon when it might have been slightly useful to someone, but the internet where I was wasn't working.

hi apolloxl, yeah i work there. its tough because i have to leave her in the same area everyday. She was a beauty to ride, such a shame. No one saw anything down at brick lane this sunday?
