Brother Cycle - Locked/Stripped - Kingly St/Fouberts Pl W1

If you got drunk and locked up your grey Brother Cycles fixed-wheel on the bike stand at Kingly Street and Fouberts Place you better go unlock it quick.

I have admired the bike when walking through a while back but didn't realise it had been lost/abandoned.

Wheels/seat+pin/stem+hbars are all gone, you better hurry before the frame and cranks go too.

Poster-child for how not to lock your bike and the consequences.

Saw this on Xmas eve morning about 8.30 and it was looking like that already

I think know whose this is. Texting him now.

Not his! Carry on!

Yeah everything but the frame/cranks are gone.

If the lock was bigger I'd drive down with a car-jack and pop it off.
Hand it in to the Beak.

My theory:

The fact the pedals or gone and not the chainset (which can be removed with one bolt?) leads me the believe the owner has lost their key and is stripping it before anyone else does while waiting for a new one if they have kept the key code or the chance to cut the lock off

Either way they must feel pretty silly.

i really hope so!

Thats a pretty sad sight for christmas :s

Indeed, needs more lights and tinsel.

dibs on the forks, do u ship? :p

hope the rightfull owner at least gets his frame back

i really hope so!

totally agree probably why i'm convincing myself that's the case.

Losing a Black Jag in the right length for me would be horrible

Why doesn't someone local to the frame put a hefty D-lock on with there phone number written on it?

i've seen that bike quite a few times looked really nice

hopefully he's been re building it at home

Come to think of it I'm not so sure.
I have a set of these and the large allen you need might not be part of the standard thieving-kit.

If this had been mine I'd have gone straight down to HSS and got a cordless grinder rather than leaving it to get stripped and filled up with water.

Saw it today. Bars are gone. I think it must have been a drunken lock up. Ommmminooooms still there.

Just walked past this. Frame, forks and crank are all thats left... such a shame was a lovely build.

Can't believe that neither the owners nor their friends are on here. Anyway, my money's on the crank going next.

that someone stole a used chain before the stem, handlebars or cranks amazes me

Maybe it was a drunk lock-up because their chain broke. Either that or they had a loose split link.

Shit that's mine.
fuck fuck fuck

lols

^^?

Has this been dissolved yet?
