  Stolen Condor Pista? Ebay.

  I would say so as it looks like the one I had stolen a few weeks ago. The front calipers (from the rather blurry photo admittedly) look as though they've had the Veloce brake blocks replaced with Chorus brake shoes, something I did a few months back. If anyone on here bought it, or knows who did, I'd be delighted if they could PM me - I have the frame number and proof of purchase from Condor to prove it's mine.

  I realise this is extremely unlikely to happen, but hey. There'll be a reward in it if we sort it this way.

  Have also emailed the police who say they should be able to find out from eBay who bought it.

  2 I know of- one on Mortlake High Street- the Brewery end, next to the 'post office'. The other is on Lower Mortlake Road (on the right hand side) as you go toward the centre of Richmond ( approx 500m from the round about before Richmond Train station). I don't think they are Brick Lane Market dodgy but it's worth a look.

  I'll have a gander round those tomorrow morning on the off chance. Unlikely I know, but ...

  Thanks again.

  Shit really sorry -I should have called the cops, wasn't sure if they respond to suss looking teenagers. If it's any help they were cycling down Sheen Lane towards Lower Richmond Rd or Mortlake High st. One white kid (who clocked me lookign at the bike) and two black kids. The one on the black Condor was pretty chubby. Not seen them round before (but I'm normally at work). If you wan to PM contact details for the officer dealing I'll keep them with me in case I see them around again.

  No idea how they'll dispose of them but there are a few 2nd hand dealers locally - I'll wander round and keep an eye out.

  Thanks again for the info. I'll get those details to you by PM (once I go find them!). Whereabouts are the local second hand dealers? I may nip down for a look ...

  Has anyone has a Specialized road bike (grey) as well as two condor single speed bikes (black and grey) nicked near Mortlake? I only ask as i saw three lads riding these bikes just before. The bikes didn't fit them and it looked like the two Condor ones had spds or similar for pedals and all the lads were wearing trainers.

  To be honest it's probably useless me mentioning this as I have no idea where they are or where they went. Sorry

  The Specialized sounds like my wife's Dolce and the black Condor will be my fixed. Discovered about lunch time that three bikes had been lifted from the shed in our back garden. The third bike from our shed wasn't grey or single speed, it was a white geared Condor, so sounds like they've been nicking from elsewhere too.

  I'll pass on the info to the officer who came round earlier to have a look. He did mention there had been other similar incidents in the area lately, so if you have a bike in the shed it may be a good idea to get it inside for now.

  Thanks for posting.

  Little. Fuckers.

  Cool.

  Dunno, presumably our name and any registration number that you have been given? Possibly your club if you have registered one.

  PM me?

  will do ...

  Contemplating this, but it is sold out. Anyone got a spare entry?

  May have to do 70k, due to home commitments.

  Happy to pay for entry, even if I end up not riding.

  Yup, I have an entry going spare (have to give the ride a miss due to unexpected family stuff going on at the same time) ... what info do you need to take my space?

  Hello ... I'd go for the Specialized footbeds, much cooshness. I did this a while back, made a big difference, though they do fill up the space inside the shoe quite a bit in comparison with the Sidi insoles, so be warned if your shoes fit snug just now that they may not be the answer.
