Yeah I had my eye on this for a while as well, as soon as the front wheel vanished I knew it was a goner. It looked pretty small.
Did anyone see that red Gazelle Champion Mondiale that was locked up for ages near Waitrose on Western Road? It gradually got raped of parts until just the frame was left, then the council came and put the removal notice on it and it went a couple of days later in the night. I was fucking gutted, it was beautiful, but I couldn't crack the lock... Ahem.
I even left a note on it for the guy before it was robbed of everything, saying that if he wanted to sell it ever then I'd have it. He wrote back saying no but thanks. When I wrote back, post-vultures, to enquire if I could have the frame, he never replied.
I hope its gone to a good home and not just been carted off by the council landfill team.
Meant to add all the quotes last time.
As I say not sure what to do with it.
