  Thanks @dancing james.

  So yeah, bit gutted by this and not sure if it's worth putting in any effort to retrieve it or just let it go. It was nicked from Marshall street (close to Carnaby street) yesterday between 17.00 and 19.00.

  The saddle is a black titanium Brooks personalised by @Skülly a few years ago with the word SPREE. Pic below from when it was brand new.

  Any advice? Check out Brick Lane? Let it go?

  First day of my yoga instructor course and one of the other participants asks me if I am on lfgss! Hello "fourteen"!

  Hey man! Was gonna post something along those lines. Nice to meet you, will take that cycle training course methinks...

  Yoga instructor? Don't you need to be calm and centred for that? Or are you only in it for the yummy mums?

  Well. Definitely one of the 'liveliest' students but pretty calm I'd say...

  Tall chap, forum cap and road bike? Think I saw you at the Oval junction lights. How on earth you saw the saddle stamp is beyond me though!

  Still, my first spot!

  That was me...

  Also saw another 'onhere' type with a skully styled SPREE written in his brooks saddle

  Hey! That's me. Well, that's my saddle, where was it spotted?

  And yes, it was stamped by Skullu himself.

  Looks like it's about to take off from where I'm standing.

  also check the nose bolt, the Ti ones are prone to cracking

  Nice one, thanks.

  Grease the rails very very lightly. I also found the metal clasp underneath rubbed slightly on the top of my seatpost, less than 1/8th of a turn to tighten got rid of it

  Interestingly (stupidly), I have not tried greasing which makes absolute sense. Will try tonight and report back. Thanks TooTallTim.

  How tall btw?

  Hello.

  A Swift Ti related question:

  It creaks and squeaks and chirps and despite moving it forward/backward (as much as possible without affecting comfort) it still does it. Has anyone else experienced noisy Swifts and is there a seatpost issue perhaps or what?

  Grateful for any suggestions, the noise is really annoying.

  Ta.
