    Sorry for the thread necro. The Pace in the picture is much smaller than a 19" (also an RC100 not a 200.) Best place to look out for an RC200 other than ebay would be Retrobike (I believe there is one up for grabs on there at the moment.)

    For reference the RC200 & 300 in this picture are 19" models, the RC100 is a 20/21"

    (Yup sorry they all have gears, not for sale.... etc)

    Perhaps if we organised a group to go down and photo then post up the bikes seen at Bricklane we may be able to at least trace them a little further.

    I suspect I saw my 42cm Cinelli Criterium bars on the dodgy OAP chinese bike stripping stall. They had a recognisable scratch where my left lever came loose. Really is a sickening place.

    Next time you might wish to try BikeRegistry.....

    Cheers dude, you live and learn.

    Added the rest of my bikes to it.
    In some ways I am glad it was this one that went, it didnt cost me a lot and was intended to be the sacraficial bike to ride around London. Just a shame I fell in love with it :(

    Alright I have lived in London for approximately 1 month and have just experienced my first bike theft.

    Frame:
    Ribble 531c approx 56 cm iirc frame.
    Shimano RSX100 groupo
    Cinelli stem & cinelli criterium drop bars
    Siezed in Mavic seatpost
    Cheapo alloy flat pedals
    Campag front hub on GA40? rim using tub tyre
    black/blue conti rear tyre.

    OK it didnt cost me a lot (less than £50 all up) however I had grown rather attached to the way it just worked and it had seen daily use as my commuter since I got it.

    It was taken from the landing of my small apartment block (off new north road, just north of Shoreditch park, Islington. I was woken when an alarm was triggered I first thought it was a car alarm then herd voices out side, stuck my head out of the window to see it was 2 Police who had responded instantly and informed me it was a alarm on the basement flat. I told them all was secure in our flat then thought I best check the landing...and yup my bike was missing. Stuck my head out of the window again and reported it to the police who came in and took a report.

    Last seen sometime just after 10pm when I arrived back on it.
    Alarm woke me around 3:30 Police were here withing a minute. Not sure if it went when the alarm sounded or before. (the basement flat doesnt use the same shared entrance.

    I know it isnt a fixie or SS machine but hope you guys will keep an eye open none the less.

    Will be down Bricklane on Sunday keeping an eye open.
