Stolen bikes

Shite dude, someone did the exact same to me last summer and it was a massive pain! Hope you can at least get the bike up and running again soon....

yo, some retarded motherfucker stole my bars (black easton ea30, cut down), stem(no name silver 110mm), grips (lizard skin), brake lever (dirt harry), cable, topcap and bolt last night on clerkwell road. and didn't take the forks or front wheel, what a dumb fuck.

not expecting them to turn up but if you spot them on some asses bike ring up clockwork couriers 02077296169 and say you have a motherfuckin' double rush especially for 56 to whereever this punk ass bitch is so i can make them feel some god damn justice.

Hah hah you dick

tis running now. walked from clerkenwell to brixton, had breakfast at a greasy spoon waiting for brixton cycles to open, went to brixton cycles, jim sorted me bars and a stem (thanks!). put on, cut down bars, stole my housemates top cap, put it back, tucking into some fried egg sandwiches. dudn't go to bed las night so i'm pretty fried. might go to push cycles later to get some cheap grips from my mate who works there but it's a long way from brixton but the ladeez will be out i should imagine :)

Someone did the same thing to my mate last summer, but on Upper street, in the middle of the day. Same bars, with Ritchey stem, top cap, dirty harry brake lever.
Must be same thief in the area with Easton EA30 fetish.

using them as a sadistic butt blug, sick fucks.

just found splash's bike, then my phoned died, police didn't show up, and the kids got away! FUCK FUCK

Stolen at the end of the tweed run from the green outside bethnal green working mens club my red brompton s2l covered in red flock sticky back plastic, taken from under my nose whilst locked to 3 other bikes all left with a krypto cable (i know)
Reported to police and left a message with the cycle task force voicemail. Will post a pic later. Please keep an eye out. Andrea from brooks also had his ti brompton taken at the same time. Shitty end to a brilliant day

Update, here's a recent pic. Only difference is a green and honey carradice zipped roll on the black B17 brooks saddle, rather than the stock saddle. Oh and the flock.

Sorry to read that Claire, I'll keep an eye out for it.

good luck with the hunt

^Me too - always have my eyes peeled for Bromptons anyway in case mine goes by! What a fucking annoying end to the day (the 20 mins I spent thinking my bike had been nicked after the Dunwich Dynamo gives me a tiny insight into how demoralising this must feel)!

Shit! Sorry to hear this Claire, I'm pretty sure I locked up next to the Ti Brompton- it looked pretty secure when I left.

Eye's are, of course, peeled.

might go to push cycles later to get some cheap grips from my mate who works there but it's a long way from brixton but the ladeez will be out i should imagine :)

I've got a set of unused Cinelli cork bar tape you can have if you, that I bought in error for my bars...

Shit. Like others have said, what a shit end to the day.

Noooo! Clefty, I can't believe it. that really sucks, All eyes peeled!

Clefty, if I see it, I'm going to hold onto it for you. Really sorry this happened after such a lovely day.

What I've recently found out, is that bikes are just as easily likely to be sold via CashConverters, as via Brick Lane Market. A wander into one or two of those might bear rewards. Hope you get it back.

That really sucks Claire!

It'll almost certainly be at Brick Lane this morning.

no worries man i stole some grips from those fucking boris bikes.

yesterday, just maxin' in victoria park some punk ass bitch comes up "there's a stolen bike from lfgss over there the owner lives just around the corner". instead of waiting for this guy to say "yeah that's my bike" thus take it, or "no it isn't" thus it's some other fuckers stolen bike, this fucking idiot just goes up "where'd you get this from? gumtree? what was the guys number". this bike is obv stolen, but i ain't fucking someone up for no unrighteous cause, so these guys ride off with the stolen bike.

whoever that was, you're a fucking idiot, do you not know how to get a fucking bike back? yeah, that was your mates bike, but you fucked that shit, you can't just take it back once they ride off you fucking hipster ass pussy, and i'm not fucking up some kids for some guys bike who i don't even know.

end of the game, it's out there in victoria park, you want it back send me a bell but don't get that fucking hipster ass fuck involved because he's god damn retarded.

Is anyone near brick lane tomorrow that have a look, as Clefty's way out west? Cash converters is a good tip. I can swing East end ones in my lunch break on Monday.
This makes me sad and angry. Sorry again Clefty.

@josh
I don't care how much you hate 'those fucking boris bikes' you stealing off them is retarded shit.

I cannot believe someone managed to steal bikes from outside the workingmens club with so many people around. That sucks so bad.

I will go for a spin round the usual suspects today and keep my eyes peeled...

Thanks Joni, and thanks to both of you for waiting with me last night, you really didnt have to. The G&T's and the 'Stephanie' experience were worth it though :-)
Also thanks to all the people Farid, Cara, Josh etc who went out and had a look for it shortly after the event. Someone apparently saw someone disappearing into the estate with Andrea's Ti Brompton, but never caught him.

I've just sent a long email to the cycletask force with a full description, all the custom bits, frame number and a fairly recent pic. I'm just waiting for Roxy to furnish me with a pic from yesterday - as I know she took some good close up ones. I'll update the desc here with the custom bits I remembered this morning too.

hey, good one. which guy were you, and how much help did you offer? did you get the bike back?

i apologise in advance for not being a super-hero at retrieving a stolen bike back off a group of kids i do not know, maybe next time, you could step in and just take it?

@clefty
Been for a good scour round pikey brick lane but no sign of any bromptons. Have to say though there is a real lack of high end stuff down here today. Maybe the police crackdowns are making them more wary. Will keep my eyes open over the next couple o weeks though.

thanks for looking Omar, I tend to agree about the high end stuff on that market - stands out a mile, so they are less likely to have it on show. I'm tending to look more towards the gumtree/ebay side of things at the moment.

Appreciate the eyes out East though!

I know its tough to wait but sometimes bikes get kept in storage for a few weeks after they have been stolen until the heat dies down and people are not searching any more then they will appear in the usual places. Hopefully it will show up eventually.

Also i presume that there is no way it could have been an innocent (+Sun+Booze) mistake and someone took it thinking it was theirs or their friends seeing as there was 400+ bikes there?

I wish it was, it was locked up with 4 other bikes, the cable was cut - and another bike that was secured with the brompton was left untouched. Another chap had his Ti brompton stolen at the same time, maybe 50 yards away, via the same method.
Scumbags with cable crops.
