Can I put dibs even if I'm flying out to New York tomorrow til next Monday? If you are looking to shift them sooner then I completely understand, otherwise I'd be more than happy to pick them up next week

Can they do a wheel that's already been built?

I'll take 4, where/when would be best to pick them up? I'm working from 1 and will be done around 6ish, let me know..

Has the order already gone through? Blah to waking up waaay on the wrong side of midday =/

Brilliant, I hope those fuckers get some sort of punishment even though the bikes stolen from mine were sold on Brick Lane within hours... the police closed my case even though there is a private CCTV camera that would have seen the thieves, apparently the police wanted -me- to find out who has the tapes and bring it to them... considering that I work 7 days a week and haven't got the faintest idea who to approach in the first place that would have been quite difficult, shows how seriously the police take the whole thing

I'll take the frame and forks if they're still up for grabs, can collect cash in hand tomorrow/Thursday?

gormly and myself went to a really cool place in shoreditch. old street road. if you look on his profile you will see a pic of the outside of the place, i sent it to him. if this is too vague i will find it and put the link up here. the food was perfect.

Sedap? If so then yes, this is some of the best Penang/Malaysian/Singaporean cooking in London

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to put up a warning here for everyone living anywhere around Bethnal Green/London Fields/Hackney/Shoreditch etc. etc.

As I was about to go downstairs to hop on my bike and head to work today I found this note from my neighbour stuck to the wall opposite my front door:

**"Spike - I assume your bike was locked downstairs yesterday!

At 4.55am we saw 3 white males leaving our property on bikes. I went down to check and both bikes including locks were gone

I have called the police.... [etc. etc.]"

**Long story short, both our bikes were stolen.

This may not sound too out of the ordinary, except for the fact that we have an 10ft tall iron gate and our bikes are tucked away, secluded from view from the main road, hidden under a staircase. My neighbour's bike was secured to one of the metal columns supporting the staircase with a good ABUS D-lock, and, here's the real shitter, mine was secured with a Kryptonite Fugheddaboudit chain and shackle. So, to steal our bikes, the three guys firstly found a way to scale the fence (which is not easy), then drill or cut (my girlfriend and my neighbours girlfriend said they heard something that sounded like a power tool) through both the locks, then finally CARRY THE BIKES BACK OVER the 10ft fence (since they couldn''t find the release switch for the gate). All this for a beaten up Fuji Track and a Giant Bowery. The weirdest part is that they took both the locks in their entirety and left the scene of the crime very, very clean. The police have been informed etc. etc. etc. and hopefully something will come of it.

However, the main reason I am posting this is as a warning to people in the area that some very fucking slick thieves with power tools who seem to be staking out bikes to steal (you wouldn't turn up to ours with power tools and know exactly where the bikes are on a whim...) and can apparently cut through a Kryptonite Fugheddaboudit fast enough that people only woke up as they were leaving. I know that a lot of people do not take their bikes all the way in to their flats because in many cases it's really inconvenient (that's why we left ours chained up outside, thinking that good locks and a front gate would be adequate protection), but I'd advice people to maybe beef up their bike security or consider bringing bikes all the way in - the police said that thefts this clean are not common and may suggest a new gang of bike thieves in town.

Being a pedestrian sucks but I'm too skint for a new bike at the moment... would not want anyone else to end up in the same position

Thanks for dropping me off the list guys... =) but as long as scott's seen my name then there's not problem

I'm 5'11" and ride a 52 - tbh I should really be on a 54 but the 52 just felt right
