  • Brick lane market and especially the sclater street area, sunday morning

  • Hi - bought this on the forum a couple of years ago and she's been a very trusty steed ever since. Stolen outside Shoreditch High St station last night (locked to Boxpark railings). Main pic/white tires is older, small park pic with black deep rim wheels is more recent set-up. Now has white bar tape, white Charge saddle (seat post is stuck) and chunky black Wellgo pedals with velcro straps.

    How was this locked?

  • Thanks - planning to head up that way for a look

  • It was locked with a medium strength cable lock, not sure of brand. Normally only use this when securing in the locked car park at work, didn't have my D-lock with me and as the spot I locked it in was bright and had a lot of footfall I took a chance. Lesson learned.

    Cheers. Yes, D-locks are best for that area. As said try Brick Lane market on Sunday. Good luck.

  • Also gumtree is popular with dem teefs in this area

  • Brooks Ti saddle stolen from outside Mother 333 on Old Street tonight at 8.10, so gutted. I Have contacted police and the club have CCTV of it happening, someone cycled up and lent their bike against mine, they then pretended to lock up but instead cycled off with my saddle. If anyone sees any suspicious ebay listings etc please pm me.

    I live on that spot and almost everyday I see bikes without saddle, I suggest to take the saddle off or lock it real good if you leave it on the hoxton square area...

  • Normally I do run a cable through it but last night I forgot to bring it, typical really.

    not to point and call names but this chap appears to have sold rather a lot of bromptons and brooks saddles in the past few months.

  • After 30 years in the bike game and clearing out shops that have closed and many people known and now clearing out and selling bikes and parts I have and from my friends bike shop I would have lots of things to sell so remove your untruthful comments and shut your mouth

  • Hey guys, for information, a dodgy seller try to get ride of a green fuji track classic almost new. So in case someone got his stolen:

    Texted the guy, he's not sure of the size (he think 54), bike almost new and the writing is terrible......

    No picture on the ad obviously, can be legit but sound dodgy so in case it help.

  • Look like the guy added picture now, look more legit so probably false alert, my bad

  • Saw a white Cervelo (R series I think) at that Scatler St market stall today, wishbone stays. Bit upmarket for their usual buyers I imagine...

    Anyone missing one?

  • Anyone lost a Cinelli Ecpxericne??

  • Some cunt stole the saddle and seatpost off my Pendle this evening in maida vale.

    Black flite on a silver evans seatpost, if anyone sees these two for sale together please let me know.

    I guess it's back to sharing with the orlowski :/

  • FUCK!!! Sorry dude, will keep an eye out for it!

  • Fuck not you too.
    My friend Brooke just had hers nicked.
    Me last week..
    FUCKERS

  • What the fuck. I really don't wanna have to run a chain through it or glue bearings in the bolts.

  • I have the atomic22 bolts on seatpost clamp and saddle rails, should stop the opportunist thief.

  • STOLEN: red 1980s Raleigh road bike, Shoreditch, Sunday 2 March

    My boyfriend's bike was stolen from Shoreditch on Sunday. It's an old (1980s) red Raleigh ten-speed with custom bars that he chopped down himself. The bike itself isn't anything special in its own right, but it was his trusty steed for many years.

    Identifying features:

    • Large red men's ten-speed frame
    • Custom homemade bullbars with brake cables routed through the inside of the bars
    • Brake cables attached the 'wrong' way round for the UK!
    • Shimano double-sided spds (one side spd, one side platform - maybe the Shimano A530 touring model)
    • mudguards
    • orange retroreflective tape on the back of the seat post and mudguards

    Couple of photos here - note that the bent back wheel had been replaced, and that the bar tape is now blue not black:

    It wasn't a high-end bike. We suspect it might have been stolen as material for a ss conversion and that it'll end up in a bike shop in Dalston... Not expecting to see it again, but posting it here can't hurt! We live in Oxford so can't do much other than keep an eye on Gumtree.

    this is what we're coming to, clamping down on all our bits and pieces with unique keys...
    Sad sad...

  • I prefer this option:

  • Some cunt stole the saddle and seatpost off my Pendle this evening in maida vale.

    Urgh, that sucks. Maida posh Vale too. Bugger.

  • Anyone had a green TT bike stolen?
    Saw some dude spinning out heading east on Commercial road this afternoon. Not sure tri bars and lacoste tracksuit bottoms are too aero...
