Shit, bad news. Ironically the thieves almost certainly won't have known its value/rarity as it just looks like a fancy modern road bike to the uninitiated.

Hope he's OK & they catch who did it.
http://bikeshd.co.uk/ is a useful website when trying to get stolen bikes back.

Any more details on this incident? I live up the way from Camden and cycle through pretty much everyday...
I'll keep my eyes peeled for it as well.

Is bike-jacked where someone steals your bike in a manner akin to a mugging, or is it the 'standard' form of bike thievery?
Quite scary if it's like a mugging...

Apparently it was basically mugging - i think he was riding through a park at the time - no doubt he will be on her soon to explain.

Was sitting in Cantalowes Park, getting a bit merry as you do on your last day of formal education.. then was approached by three dodgy looking guys with beer bottles who picked up my bike, which was right next to me. My mate shouted to get some attention (there were about 50 of us at Cantalowes) and they threw a glass bottle at him. They then proceeded to run down Busby Avenue and up Orsney Crescent. Another friend went charging after them and I was shitting myself that he was going to run around the corner and they were gunna kick the shit out of him/stab him if he caught up.
Luckily, he didn't, but he did see their escape route and I have other sources that suggest they are from the Hilldrop or Torriano Estate. Fuckers, I hope they didn't managed to offload it on Brick Lane. They said (through a source) that it had already been sold (that was literally about 7 minutes after it was stolen, sure its bullshit).
But please do keep eyes peeled, I'm no longer around Camden as I've finished bar exams so if anyone does see anything please do contact me or the police, but do avoid contact with them. They're ruthless fuckers.Thanks a lot for this Alex, really do appreciate your help.

You think? It's a really nice area but one of radical social extremities and a lot of crime because of that. Really rough kids on soe estates with opportunities of making vast amount of money by taking stuff off the wealthy. Been at school in Camden for two years now and that was my first bit of bother.. tempus fugit and all.

I meant the whole High St, area from the tube all the way up to the market. Pissed up cunts all over the place - I even saw a girl sat on her own, legs crossed in a pool of piss! She was absolotuely steamin. Then you get to the tube and there's an ambulance and two OB cars and a van, someone had take a kickin.....
The place is a dive, worse than Leicester Sq, like Blackpool but without the sea, tower, pleasurebeach and donkeys -

You just happened to catch it on a good night.
Maybe everyone was excited about your presence.Yes its logical to judge an area on its high street.

I know Sharkey's dad, he's a nice old boy.
I'm in Camden Town. I'll keep my eyes peeled.

not so long ago the lock was a few stalls selling home-made cakes and silver jewellery.The only danger then was being breathed on by the residents of Arlington House.
Now it's second only to Finsbury Park/Blackstock Road in horrid shitness.

I live in Camden, and I recon it's got better in the last few years. I got home from Iraq in December 2004 and there were three yellow murder signs between my flat and the tube. I thought maybe I should turn round and go back out there.
These days, it's all Spanish tourists. It's been months since anyone offered me any drugs. The people who own the market have invested so much money here that the council have to be seen to be doing something. I'm not saying it's totally safe, but a few years ago we had stabbings every night and a bloke was shot in Cafe Nero.
I am posting this up for George who bought the bike off me - poor guy was bike jacked in Camden today. He has no internet access at the mo, so please PM me or call on Zero79SixEight 05Six One4Seven.

The bike is one of 30 ever made, so super rare, and very unique.
