  Dear Father Christmas,

  I think I've been a fairly good girl this year, and some people haven't been good at all, so maybe you could bring me a new wheelset and the people who steal nice wheelsets don't deserve any presents this year?
  I'd really really love some white Blackjack rims and double-butted spokes (all silver apart from one black one in each wheel) and Condor Uno hubs. I think someone in Stoke Newington will have some for sale secondhand soon so you could get a bargain. Plus I think my friend Kat would really love a new seatpost and saddle this year, and all friends are very upset and they should get lots of presents because they've all been good too.

  Thanks Father Christmas.

  it was locked with another bike... i went outside to unlock the other for my mate, then we got involved in a really really heavy conversation for a couple of minutes - i got distracted and went back inside. it wasn't locked! two minutes later we noticed it was gone - we could see from where we were sitting!!! :-(

  I've got one to add to list :-(

  My nice white fixie with orange-striped tires was nicked outside the pub on the park in london fields a few hours ago. it's not posh but i love it, ridden it loads around london over the last six months, and even to germany via belgium a coupe of times. bought it second hand and am no bike geek, so i can't rattle off too many names of the various bits, but here's what i do know.. . .
  (I can't recall the brand of the tires, but I guess I'll find out Monday when the bike shop opens)

  dirty white bar tape, white specialized seat.
  frayed nylon straps.
  left crank much shinier than right as i repaced it just last week.
  the wheels are a bit too small for the frame / forks, which is why it has no brakes.
  there are mounting brackets for a couple gadgets on the handle bars, though.
  drop handlebars, a bit on the skinny side.
  don't quote me on these, but i believe i had 47 teeth on the front and 21 & 18 tooth cogs on the back.
  i don't recall the make of the rims, but the rear is a fair way off true. they're both shalllow (if that's the right word for not deep)

  short version: white frame/seat/bar tape, bright orange tires

  see y'all at brick lane in a few hours!!!!

  if you see someone on this bike, yell "oi, tom!" and if the dude doesn't respond, open fire. ta!
