DEVASTATED / FIXED GEAR BIKE ROBBED
Pearlescent, green Dave Russell handmade track frame, iPhone 7+ and JBL Flip 4speaker robbed by 4 black males - I chased them in the hope he'd stack it but I lost him. Used Find My iPhone on a random’s phone and saw he was in an estate in Tottenham, went looking but no joy.
The bike had Hexlox security on the wheels, saddle, stem and post so they’ll have a hard job taking it apart so there’s a good chance someone will be riding it around as a complete rig.
Any sightings or news would be MASSIVELY appreciated, fucking loved that bike.
Thanks x

Greetings,
I had my turquoise, debranded, fixed Foffa nicked last Sunday from outside Hackney Central - I'd swapped out all the components with black, BLB parts and Miche wheels.
Gutted - as expected, and feel totally lost without a bike so I bought a beautiful, green Dave Russell custom rig last night off a lovely chap called Kes in Shoreditch for £500 - money I totally don't have, especially as my wife and I have just separated so I'll be financially reeling from that (dry wretch / cue the violins).
Additional costs include £80 for a Pinhead multipack and £30 for a new Quadlock mount and £30 for some riser bars. All makes me feel a bit sick.
I want to swap out the toe cages for SPDs so posting here in the hope somebody might have an old pair they don't use and are happy to pass on as part of a cost-saving exercise.
Any help appreciated.
Many thanks
GP
God yeah, needed the CRN to get a replacement phone
