I've been following this thread extensively over the past summer when I debated if it makes sense to get a bike here in London or not (eventually I decided pro bike :))
Anyway, that doesn't matter. 15 mins ago I was offered a white racing bike in front of Maplin in Camden Town. The boy, who pushed it around, offered it to basically everyone who passed by, even me - a girl in heels (perfect customer for a huge men's' racing bike). He walked up towards Camden lock with the bike. I took a photo but cannot manage to upload it from my phone - I uploaded it on my Flickr "juliakeder".
Hope someone recognizes their gem! :)

looks like a create or something similar..

How much did he want for it?
-
• #9408
Obviously realised its brake less hence pushing.

Well done, Poirot.

Maybe he can offer it to more people while pushing?
To be fair, he does look a bit a type to ride that bike. -

I think doktor is probably right actually. Cant sell it if riding it!

He only asked if people were interested and said he needs to sell it, but everyone rushed by, so I didn't hear him saying a price.

Ask him if he's a police officer.

@bodie
he was like 16 and walked with a bunch of even younger kids (the one on the scooter was certainly not older than 12), i've got my doubts that MET operates this way :D -

Ask him if he has a receipt.

Only managed to get my bike nicked from outside Kick Bar in Shoreditch at the weekend on me birthday, too drunk to cycle home I decided to leave it till this morning to find someone had nabbed it :(
As this is my only bike at the moment as I have sold all my others to fund my cycle across the america next I am pretty gutted :/ (www.cycling-south.co.uk)
The box makes it pretty recognizable so hopefully someone has seen it ....

Hey guys, a fellow redditer suggested I post this up here.
First, didn't know that you guys were a thing, awesome. Looking forward to being a part of the community.Secondly, my bike was stolen on the weekend(Oct 14th 2012) - Not Awesome.
Here is my bike, photo-tuned to make the grips orange. This is the current colour.
I live around the blackheath standard area (SE3) Now, I almost caught the punk who stole it, but damn son my bike is fast and those rear carbon triangles make it quick off the line.
I have made a police report, so if it turns up somewhere they should get it back to me. But, they probably have better things to do.
So, I turn to you; the great community of cyclists. I built this bike from the frame up. I love it, and I would really want it back. It's not amazing, but I made it.
Thanks guys and girls.

Hi All.
Please help I really gutted. Had my lovely Condor stolen on Saturday from my house Wick rd. It's unusual so I hope to recover. It's a black large frame 62cm with Large extensions added to the lugs see photo attached.
Nitto drop bar
Nitto stem
Ambrossio rims
Miche hubs
My saddle was stolen 2 weeks before... So it was actually a Turbo matic fitted with campag aero seat post.
Please let me know if you spot this reward offered. Any help much appreciated.
Thanks.

Probably the same f**kers who took mine from Blackheath area a few days ago - see upthread.
Hope you get it back..

Thanks HMS, I'll keep an eye out for yours.
I sent a description of the rider to police report, so they may find him.
Hope you get yours back
