Just had my red vintage peugeout bike stolen from outside West Hampstead thameslink station on the main road, west end lane...locked it to a sign on friday...had to leave london for the weekend without having chance to take it back home, it was gone by Monday evening.
These are the wheels I had fitted just a week before... http://www.lfgss.com/thread83021.html (in case anyone sees them) hoping to get a picture of the bike from the guy I bought it off, don't have on myself. Gutted...I hate the tube!!
Obviously feel stupid for leaving it there over the weekend but it couldn't be helped this time. If anyone sees someone trying to flog it on a street corner let me know! It has untaped drop handlebars, black padded saddle, flip flop hub with only a SS, a faded red chain (sorry, it came with it)...nothing fancy but it was mine, y'know?
I really liked my bike! Spoke to police, gave statement, got crime ref number, wasn't really worth insuring, sad.
Lesson learned?
