Ha, gets better.

Just received an email and apparently one of the wheels isn't mine.

Assume that'd be the one that I didn't explain and point out supporting evidence that its mine.

Bikes have three wheels right?

Have you made any progress? I can put you in touch with a journalist if you like as it's an interesting story.

Geep and dicki on board

PM me.

PM sent, happy to help out both as another body and funding, I watched them last year and they must have a stash nearby as I saw the same people leave and come back several times. I even approached some private detectives last year to do just what your talking about (find their stash) but they lost interest.

rot in hell

Not much different from the place they are already :D

When I saw this I just notice "Somerset" freaked the shit out of me till I realised it was SA.

the guys have been caught haven't they?

Apparently yes

Yesterday, some cunt stole my seatpost and saddle while I was at a gig.

9:20pm locked my bike on the opposite of the road where the gig was happening, went to unlock the bike at midnight and seatpost with saddle were missing.

It was Thompson Elite with big inserction marks on one side (pretty deep), 27.2mm diameter, it was shortened with hacksaw as it was the ultra long model.
Saddle was Fizik Arione it very nice condition (apart 1 or 2 small scuffs at the rear).

Photos from previous build but same saddle and seatpost:

If anybody notice one of these things, please let me know. Think the seatpost will be easy to spot with those big marks.

Will keep and eye on here, eBay, Gumtree and my father will visit Bricklane market tomorrow.

Thank you!

It all happend on this corner, so watch out:

Bastards!

shame. a lesson i've learnt, never ever park up on kingsland road without everything locked down
fingers crossed for recovery x

Thank you...

At least he/they didn't take Thomson stem aswell...

And yeah, lesson learned...

Damn, nearly screamed there Dragunov. Saw the pic of both bikes on here and thought the worse had happened. Bastards anyway.

Thanks dimi. Yeah they've got Ben's grey Raleigh Titanium as well.
Mine now has celeste tyres and matching grips still with Campag cranks short Cinelli stem with condor risers. The lug work says Fondriest and it's light slx tubing the frame number is 56 so easy to spot. It's my pride and joy so please keep your eyes peeled folks x

It all happend on this corner, so watch out:

There have been loads of reports of thefts from there since the venue became so popular. I think they now watch bikes directly outside the venue a bit more than before, but obviously couldn't see this happening across the way. Having a saddle and seatpost stolen is very annoying quite irrespective of the monetary value.

Yeah, there was a bodyguard outside of the entramce whole time, but wasn't much space to lock up bike properly so decided to lock properly on the other sidr by bike stand.

As said, lesson learned :)

ideal location for the first venture by the undercover forum group stakeout ?

dibs the one in the venue drinking beer looking nonchalant

Just chat them up normally, like in the old days.

I got my phone grabbed right out of my hand just outside power lunches a few months ago. Scallywag central.

hope the scallywags don't outnumber the good guys
