Does this belong to anyone on here?
Spotted outside the launderette on the Lauriston Rd/Victoria Park Road roundabout, about 8pm on Sunday night, with a tiny d-lock around its stem (very brave). I'm interested because I've never seen another Neil Orrell (any info appreciated, btw) and this is my bike's sister! This had its rear brake bridge drilled though (didn't look like it was made like that) unlike mine. Anyone?

Wowser, an allen key gets you a free bike!
I get pangs of dread and fear when I see nice bikes locked up badly. I want to plead with the owner to lock it up more wisely to spare the torment of losing it.
That's a beautiful bike.

So safe had s/he put that lock a few inches below - it would've been very hard to get a boltcutter around such a tiny thick thing too. I want one of those locks! But I think the owner must have been very close by, since it was gone by the time we'd crossed the road and got in the pub. Or someone nicked it. It looked good with the bullhorns though......man, bar decisions, the torment!

Sat evening in borough market at 6ish. Exceedingly tall fella on a red frame, brakeless. And a lady on a light green/ greenish blueish (it was getting dark) colored frame, toe clips, pac bag etc.
Anyone on here?

Had bullhorns but they were inverted. Very strange. -

brief chat and ride with drew? i think was his name, down kensington road from knightsbridge to the royal college of art, on a mustard gold holdsworth, with red tyres, looked really pretty because of the well used feel, made you want it because it wasn't bright and shiny and new.
Anyway, was nice speaking to you, pop back onto the forum, hope the spoke cards go to good use. -

monday - followed/was followed by a stickered up fuji track with risers on that street which downing street is on (yeah? so what i've lived in london 2 years and don't know what it's called), rode with him all the way up to charing x road. Feel bad for not saying hello. I had a helmet on but no brakes (ironic somehow), on a blue geoffrey butler with fucked cranks.
sunday evening - nodded to a fellow near elephant and castle roundabout who was riding a black bike with risers. I was with a guy on my nice fixed wearing my helmet, I was n the geoffrey butler and we were with a bloke on a gold single-speed. Hello!

sensible more like
Mine's brown, bought it off Scott of Grobags fame via the forum.
I've never been spotted, which given that I'm six feet tall, seventeen stone and mostly ride a lime-green bike I find very disappointing.
