are there not many fixed ladies in newcastle like? based in london normally but newcastle is home, would be nice to see some anti hybrid girl's bikes! :)

really sorry rik, only just read your anti pm message :S i can pick up from anywhere between tott court road and hackney if there are any still available, cheers

i ride a fixed 650c fuji track 2010 model - it's lovely. edscoble - you helped me out a fair whack with that, thanks!

i also went to the oopening of tokyo bikes in spitalfields last week - one of their policies is using 650c wheels only, i have to say it looks weird with larger frames but they do 47cm singlespeeds which look pretty proportionate not sure of the quality of the build though?

Thanks to everyone who has replied so far. This info is just BRILLIANT ;o) I'm 5ft 2in so will need a small frame too... I feel I am going to have to get someone to build me a lovely bike (and probably spray it pink).

i have a little white fuji track 43cm with 650c wheels - was a bit of a nightmare to get hold off but found a shop who ordered one in! before that i had the same in black before it got nicked :( but i love this one, added riser bars and some baby pink ourys and it pretty much looks like a mini milk lolly now.

that's an OTP by the way if it helps at all!

hope you don't mind me posting here, i'm pretty new to the forum, but it's been really good to me and everyone's been really helpful - would be great to have a bit of a section to search for women's rides/threads as i've searched this before and it doesn't pop up all that easily.

this is all :)

sorry my mistake, read that incorrectly

is this still available? - would it take 650c wheels? i'm in love

we're running low on the 'bike parts' bit of our sign, so..... if anyone has any spare bike parts lying around that you just want rid off, and you fancy donating to our stall on sunday, i'll trade you a free cocktail in return :)

i ride a fuji track 43cm 2010 with 650c wheels- they've got a couple of the 2009 models on ebay at the moment - http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fuji-Track-650-wheel-43cm-junior-fixie-track-bike-/260594172657?cmd=ViewItem&pt=UK_Bikes_GL&hash=item3cac9f82f1 - it's the actual fuji distributor selling on ebay and he's sound

Hi GA2G - thanks for the heads up, but having had bikes for a while now, i feel pretty confident that the locks i've bought should be ok. i think having the other bike stolen was sheer bad luck and don't want to take any more risks. i've also heard that the smaller the d lock the better, and the mini has a lifetime guarantee. fingers crossed though - and yeah thanks for the advice all the same :)

cheers guys, advice much appreciated. i've just purchased a kryptonite mini fahgettaboutit lock as well as an abus gold steel o flex lock so hopefully that will do the trick :

alright guys - latest update is with the help of a work loan i've got myself a new fuji track (numero 2). it's white this time so no chance of being mistaken for a thief! and if anyone tries to steal it i will rip their you know what off.

am still on the look out for the original mini fuji so cheers everyone :)

yeah that was my bike, we trawled brick lane this weekend (in the pouring rain) - 4 hours and several market food munchies later and no luck :(.... although i was offered 3 stolen bikes none of which were good enough to be on lfgss sorry guys!

that bike was my perfect bike, i dont think i could get another type. weep.

sorry to hear about your bike, that's shit. i live near broadway and i think it's a bit of a hotspot :( if you see a short oriental girl with a paul frank skull helmet who looks a bit woeful at the moment, that's me - please don't hit me, but definitely punch anyone else!

positive news at the moment - the bike shop i got the bike from can get me the exact same bike by saturday with 10% off given the situation, and my work can help me with cash via a loan - so i it's all not bad - and everyone has been so nice about it, so thank you so much. not sure what to do though and whether to wait till i've trawled the market for my wee bike..........

so sad, this thread :'(

@ ruthy, i see you finally figured out which bike would fit you & now this happens... i feel sick!

i know :'(

I borrowed this photo from another user (sorry/thanks) but I didn't have a photo of mine ready. Its pretty much my bike but mine is smaller 21" with white grip tape too/ white seat/ yellow back wheel and is not a fixie.

If anyone sees it please give me a shout.

Thankyou

are thieves targetting girls by the name of ruth here? hope you find it your bike - i am going to brick lane at the weekend to look for mine so that may be your best bet.

my bf just got a message from a guy from reddit who has taken a photo of the kids that steal bikes round bedford square - he saw them take a bike on goodge street with mere wire cutters:

Looks as if it's thieving season again. Markedly more reports, it seems.

Ruthy, I feel your pain--it took me a good while to get my Fuji, too, as my size wasn't available, either. It's distinctive, hope it turns up!

cheers, yeah took a while to get hold of! what basturds

You might still get it back!

I really really x10000 hope so!!!!

Saw this lot a while back, and by the thread responses quite well known. Not sure if that helps or not but probably the same little bastards.

cheers for the heads up and good on you for chasing them away- I think that these must be the bastards as when I spoke to security at my work after I found out my bike had disappeared, he mentioned he'd chased away some kids that morning after a warning from a neighbouring building. however, I bloody wish he had told us inside that thieves were about - god I'm seriously gutted right now :'( what scum

Never lock up with a cable lock, they're made of butter and are softer than a Morph's gay mate after a deep tissue massage.

I guess I've learnt the hard way :( such an idiot. But how about the abus gold motorbike lock that so many people have? double lock for me next time and a 'keep off u fuckers' sign

no CCTV outside work but have placed a report with the police so maybe they'll have something

i cycled into work, then took it to the new evans store on mortimer street at about half 1, left it back outside work at 2 and finished work at 6, by which point it had disappeared and there was just the remains of my lock on the floor :'( maybe put two locks on your bike? i've heard that's the best thing, i was just too trusting. if you have the abus gold motorbike lock that lots of people have you might be alright?
