Stolen bikes

Sometime between 11pm last night and 7am this morning, some scumbags managed to get into the communal area behind my flat and took all of the bikes they could from the bike-sheds in the 'secure' yard area at the back. This includes my own beloved Brian Rourke which has been safely carrying me around London for 4 years now.

531 steel bright orange fixed gear, with chop-and-flop bars, blue bar tape, dirty harry bmx brake levers, blue velocity deep-v on the back and a mavic kysrium on the front. Built up with campag headset and BB, and egg-beater pedals (the drive side one is stuck, so I hope that the theives rag their knuckles something terrible trying to get that off).

Here's a picture of the bike during happier times in LFGSS's very own BTOTB:

If you do see it (and let's be honest, there aren't many BR framesets with this kind of 'distinctive' colour), please clothesline whichever fucker is riding it and I will reward you handsomely

Pretty sure I saw my old bike pulling out of the junction of Kightsbridge and Hyde Park Corner as I rode home at about 19.30. The orange paintwork and blue rim looked in tact and ridden by some nodder-type with one of those Bern helmets on.

Annoyingly I was still in Hyde Park and got caught behind the lights - with the busy evening traffic I couldn't filter through and lost sight of the bike before I could get onto the junction to chase. Deeply frustrating!
