    Does anyone have a spare Kryptonite bracket (that fits the New York) floating about?
    A few people seemed to when Gidleyesque posted the same request last year; would be great if anyone's still up for making a bracket/pint swap sometime...

    Thanks for asking anyway.
    Think it's pretty unlikely that it'll turn up now.
    Bike thieves, eh? Arseholes. The lot of them.

    That would be great coppi, if you saw them on Monday they'd have actually bought it that day. And if the person you were with knows anything about the area where that person lives that then that would be even better...

    My bike was on there Monday after it was nicked on Saturday. It's a dirty scummy site.

    Looking at the ad, the photo looks like it was lifted off another site and the description is pretty short for someone who's actually trying to sell something.

    E-mail and call him a cunt.
    If he asks why, then it might not be stolen.

    I don't know.
    I got a fine last year for turning left onto Upper Street at the top of Pentonville Road.
    Wrote a letter appealing it by saying that I had diarrhoea and was in a hurry home. That it was in no way dangerous; no one was about and that the cop was quite unsympathetic when I'd explained the situation to him.

    None of which was strictly true, but I've not heard anything since sending the appeal off 8 months ago

    Though of course, having posted this message, I'll probably get a court summons on Monday.

    Yeh, sorry been stupid to not put that out.
    I've just added it to the phone number thread.

    Thanks for the support people - is really appreciated. Do give me a call if you see it.
    Like I say, I suspect that there's not too many grey Lemond Fillmores with blue cow horn bars and blue tyres out there (especially ones that are chipped and stencilled).

    Just to remind you:

    Thanks again.

    I didn't know Eilidh but RIP and many commiserations to Giles and her family.
    I've found the support shown on this thread to be amazing. I hope it is provides some kind of compensation at this truly awful time.
    Safe riding.

    The coppers called their bossand he called his boss; and it was the big boss who said no.

    I don't reckon kicking off at the rozzas really gets you anywhere. They're trained to be authoritative arseholes; in my experience, the best plan is to make them think that you respect them and appreciate what they're doing.

    Was fucking ridiculous though.

    The whole thing has been. It's the absurdity of it all that's made me feel better than just having it gone the once. At least it's a better story now.

    Appreciate the sentiment Person, but I’m not too proud to admit that they’d have royally kicked my arse.
    If you want to cut off fingers though just head down Brick Lane on a Sunday. There’s plenty of candidates there. ;o)

    It’s off the peg and a really nice ride, so reckon there must be a fair few about.
    Since the blue bar tape and tyres was me though I guess the chances are that if you see them on a grey framed Fillmore, then it’s probably mine.
    There’s a phone number and code stencilled on the top tube of the frame. Ring that and quote the code and they’ll tell you if it’s stolen or not (and yeh, I know that should’ve worked with the police. But there was no fucking answer on Sunday. I’m waiting to hear about compensation from the datatag people).

    I’m in Hackney, and not down Peckham/New Cross way much. If you South London heads could keep an eye out it would be real appreciated.
