Ways not to lock your bike

^ Ouch :(

I was so glad I locked my front wheel to my frame when this happened on Saturday, otherwise I could have been looking at a much bigger loss:

It also made me realise that front wheel to frame is a must; front wheel to stand and they can still get the forks. (I'm aware the best would be front wheel, frame and stand but that's not possible with those tyres.)

DUUUDEE!

That sucks so bad. What was on the cockpit?

Words fail me.

And two locks left on the bike. I wonder if he has lost the keys to those, so just rides round with them hanging on his bike?

they would have to wheelie everywhere if they wanted to ride without removing either lock.

There is only one lock "securing" the bike, the others (might even be three) are just wrapped around the top tube. Yeah, they would have to wheelie, or take the bike and walk it away. I lost a bike by only being freelocked. Leant up against the window of the shop I was in, but the lady inside got me talking about something, and when I turned around, bike was gone, and nowhere in sight. That was a lock around the frame and rear wheel....

^^^^ Cannon Park Tesco!! Aaaah memories of Canley. Cheering myself up about my crap job by buying sushi form the Korea food shop...

What frame is this Dom?

Yep, it's a 29er and its so much fun. I'd love to try them with freewheel and brakes sometime.

I usually glue ball bearings into the Allen holes, but those forks are different and it wasn't possible so they just used a 6mm key and made off with £130 worth of parts. It was a lovely start to my weekend.

That grannie is going to be wheelie ing all the way to the post office!

Words fail me.

Yes, it's an ESB by Ted James and 14 Bike Co.

Exact specs of mine here:

how much do those frames cost?

I would love to have one, they look so fun to ride.

They really are so much fun. F&F is handmade in the UK and costs £540 direct from 14 Bike Co.: http://www.14bikeco.com/frames-forks/frames/the-esb.html

There's also one for sale over here for £700 all built up.

Or you could win one in a forum raffle a few years ago.

If only I had the money :(

No attempt made to lock at all. Epic fail.

Jesus, that sucks. Who would do that to the raddestest bike in all of london town? Scumbags.

I'd say take off the location but it's probably gone now anyway.

Yeah, cos he was just popping in to the shop for a minute.
