Prayed I'd never have to post in this thread but sometime over the past 3 days my storage unit was broken in to and 2 bikes were nicked. A black stevens s8 elite and a trek 4300. Stevens is very rare in the UK, been in a filthy shed for years so covered in dirt, oxygen branded components and lx+ xt components. Trek is blue and silver, I'd just spent hours cleaning it ready to sell :( Hayes mechanical brakes, bontrager Jones tyres, rst forks which squeak when compressed. Also some hope mono hydraulic brakes, literally bought them off ebay last week:( the rear had a stripped thread and the bastards took the metal bracket I'd spent hours machining to adapt my Cannondale for discs. They left my cannondale thankfully. I'm only 18, never had a bike stolen before, horrible feeling.

Every time I go past this, the D lock has been bent even more. Someone is using the frame as a lever to snap the lock off. Not surprised really, its a nice frame.

Cmon guys, im sure other people see loads more!

Heres a load more junk porn i've seen about. The yellow and black carrera is ridiculous, the owner must be really clueless as they don't seem to have removed it. Only needs a few bits and it could be saved, seems like it well stay there till everything else is gone :(
Theres a whole load of those bent D locks along mile end road.....
And the battered purple frame with a curtain falling out of the seat is a really old Bianchi, lovely frame, really hope someone saves it before Islington council cut it off.

Highly doubt this is abandoned, just haven't seen it move in a few weeks and the chain is seriously rusty.

This was locked outside angel station with a notice saying Islington council will cut it off, it was still there after all the other abandoned frames had been removed, then it suddenly disappeared. Next day I find it has been locked to a fence around the corner. Looks like a brand new kryptonite on it as well, what on earth goes through peoples heads :S

I saw this over on a car forum and it was a massive success so why not give it a try on here. This thread is dedicated to those abandoned cycling relics, bikes which owners have discarded, frames locked to railings with a D lock having been raided of every piece not locked down ect....

Being in London, there is certainly no shortage of abandoned bikes, so I shall start the thread with some i've seen recently (although nothing particularly interesting except the tora's on the red mtb) And the black raleigh frame I found with a broken drop out by a bin off oxford street, every part on it has gone to good use.

So, this thread could either be a great success or an epic fail....lets see what you've seen about?

I know of a beautiful specialized langster which hasn't moved in 2 years, left notes on it and none of them have even been taken off never mind the owner actually reading them. Seriously considering just "liberating" it before the local pikeys do....

That is extremely cool!

I don't think you need a lock for that, you'd probably have to pay someone to steal it!
