Stolen bikes

It was locked with a Kryptonite cable through both wheels, frame and locked with padlock to the seat rails. In retrospect, maybe a d-lock was needed? i'm out of town this weekend - if anyone is down at brick lane or other trade spots etc please keep an eye out. cheers.

Yes, sadly, a d-lock really is needed these days.

BROOKS SADDLE STOLEN
Brook was stolen - railings at bottom of hackney rd where it crosses kingsland rd. (rest of bike OK)
2 years i had molded it- oh it hurts
Made worse that the allen bolt had been filled, seat covered with cover and plastic bag!

Also saw an other guy who had also had his Brooks stolen in the same area.
If anyone see's it over the weekend at the markets let me know.
I sprayed horrible florescent yellow paint on the underside and it has blue denim stains at pressure points.

We get it, your brooks saddle was stolen, you needn't post it in several topic about it, just here.

Doesn't sound worth saving TBF

You should've left that welded ring on

Right my mate Elliott (Dark Rainy Sunday) on here has just bought a beautiful Witcomb which he was doing up and last night someone broke into his flat on Kingsland Road and nicked it. They also nicked everything else of worth hence the reason I'm making this post on his behalf.
It should be easy to spot very distinctive back wheel as the colours don't go at all - claret bike and purple rear deep V with white hub.
Please all keep an eye out and if you see it call Elliott on 0seven95eight0seven0sevensix2
Thanks All

It must have been dark in the flat for them to want to take that.

On a serious note, hope your mate finds the scum/gets a load of insurance money.

My condolences to your friend, being broken into is awful. Maybe he can do a less ugly build with the insurance money!

Try to imagine it without the garish purple. A Witcomb is class though.

Haha i was just thinking that too.
The checkered cranks.. Maybe good riddance ?

Sorry to hear about the break in though, your mate must be shattered.

He's just bought it like that and had some wheels built for it, was going to replace wheels today and put drops on, WAS going to be very tasteful - please keep an eye out y'all x

Had my bike stolen from opposite the Prince George pub in Hackney on Friday night.

It's an On-One Il Pompino with carbon forks and Wooden Sykes Mudguards. It had Soma Noah's Arc bars on it when it went, so not exactly the same as the photo.

If anyone sees it please call me on 07880631870

It's got a Pitlock headset bolt on it so they'll probably have to sell the frame, forks, headset (On-One) and stem (Hope) as one...if the Pitlock thing actually holds.

They were caught on the pub's CCTV and went through the Abus lock in the photo in 25 seconds! I'd been thinking recently that I should've got a better lock but I didn't realise they were quite that cack.

Anyway, I'd be grateful if folks could keep a look out for it.

Just had both my newly built wheels nicked on Kingsland road.
Two Halo Aero Track rims on System x hubs. Easily recognizable as i had to grind down the axle to fit the old school M8 dropouts. Back wheel is double fixed and had a 1/8th 18T cog.
If you see anything like these, they are stolen.
If anyone does tries to sell you this please let me know.
Sorry for the crap picture.

kim_t, sorry about the theft. So that others may learn from it, can you tell us what you used to lock them? Hope you might get them back.

Also, you're really tall! So, hopefully it will take longer to sell.

Kim, thats proper shite! Sorry man. A right pain as you had to get them 110mm rear spaced and grind the axles to fit that frame! Will keep an eye out mate.

@simbasan, how did they cut it - angle grinder or bolt cutters?

Unfortunately I can't really say, I didn't see the CCTV footage myself and they took the lock with them. The bloke who looked at the footage said they appeared to be sawing it?

too cheap + can't spell + no measurements = stolen maybe?

also i thought all condor pistas had "london" written on them

£300 way too cheap for a fully build Condor Pista.

Hi Guys

I've had my bike stolen on Friday night on De Beauvoir Rd where two guys kicked me off my bike and took it. So I will recommend that people do not cycle up this road alone at night.

It's a "Rapide" frame, it's singlespeed freewheel, has brooks saddle and handlebar tape.

If anyone sees it or can help with finding it I would be super happy!

You can contact me here, on my email mckfradk [at] hotmail.com or +45 six 0 one three six 0 three one

Jeez thats awful, I hate these things happening... What time was it? sorry to hear that

Fuck. Will keep an eye out. Really sorry. Must be so much worse to lose a bike that way.

My mate had this beauty stolen yesterday. He usually D-locks but thought he could get away with a cable lock alone in a dodgy area. If you see it, please PM me.
