Some dirty thieving scrote nicked my bike from outside the Kenton pub in Hackney on friday night.https://maps.google.co.uk/maps?saddr=Bentham+Rd&daddr=Hartlake+Rd&hl=en&sll=51.54426,-0.042336&sspn=0.003857,0.009645&geocode=FX6AEgMde1H__w%3BFSyAEgMdj1z__w&dirflg=w&mra=ltm&t=m&z=18
I ride (or more correctly, rode) a Raleigh Record Ace which I converted to fg and the front wheel was a Mavic Aksium with eight reflective stickers on the rim and the rear was a black 40mm deep rim bought from Varno. Both wheels had Maxxis Detonators.
The reason I'm focussing on the wheels is because I found the bike locked up and I nicked it back!
When I came out of the pub and saw the lamppost where I locked it devoid of my bike, I charged off down the road looking for it. there must have been some kind of subliminal homing signal because I walked past three tower blocks and onto a big estate about 200 metres away, where I found my bike locked outside a tower block, minus the wheels (and, strangely, the water bottle holder).
I've looked for them on ebay and gumtree but without any joy. I'd love to get the wheels back and would appreciate you guys keeping an eye out for anyone selling them.
tl:dr
Some cunt nicked my wheels.
