Provisional dibs - what size is the clamp?

Dibs, PM if they're still around:

17] Atacs, very old and well used. £5

Left a note on this one as I had just bought a very similar one for my girlfriend and I'm completely in love with it - the note read something along the lines of - "Your bike isn't securely locked. You need to make sure that you pass the lock through the bicycle frame. Please don't have your beautiful bike stolen xxxx"

Especially with the QR seatpost bolt - they wouldn't even need an alan key...

I'm just back from the Hebrides, and as a paranoid Londoner with big locks, Oban is a nightmare. People just dump their bikes in crappy front-wheel racks with their £££ Ortlieb panniers still on, and then think 'hey, I need another book for my holiday' and head off to Waterstone's. We thought we'd do the same (borrowed crappy MTBs, so when in Rome), but I only got about 10 paces round the corner when I had to go back and put some kryptos on just to make sure.

Mr. Matt,

Would you be able to send me a picture of the bike next time you come past it? It's not a Cube, is it?

Thanks!

I've got pics on my phone, I'll upload when I get home from work. I don't think it's a Cube though, as it's got track dropouts (I didn't think they do a track...) and it's been resprayed or had decals removed.

Dibs Raceface stem please - what size clamp is it?
Cheers

The yellow track with Coppi fork is still locked up in Clapton. It's now missing its saddle and seatpost as well as rear wheel, and it's been there nearly two weeks, so I guess it's been abandoned, either by a thief or by its owner after the wheel was taken (???).

You should flip the whole drivetrain onto the left hand side of the bike. That way, when the cog eventually unwinds itself, your braking action (ie. slowing down the pedals) will wind the cog back on, allowing you to 'safely' stop*.

*Don't actually do this.

spotted what looked to be a stolen bike heading north east around Hackney Downs about 7pm this evening... apologies if I'm casting aspersions but it looked way small for the rider who was struggling with the concept of straps and didn't really suit the bike...

...anyway lemon/custard yellow frame (no decals), coppi chrome fork, black sugino cranks, black deep section rear rim with a shallow front rim.

if you're missing it, I suspect it's in the shacklewell area.

Black Coppi fork? I saw this locked up in Clapton on Friday, with the back wheel missing. It was still there on Sunday, so if it was nicked, the thief got robbed himself... I'll have a look tonight, see if it's still there.

Thurs would suit me - let me know where and when.

That frame still going? I've just joined so can't pm.

Cool - you're in hackney downs right? I'm just over by Millfields - mind if I come and check it out?

Hi,
Just joined so can't PM you yet - is the frame still available? Is the front fork drilled for a brake? Can't quite see on the pic.
Cheers
