Signed.

Just thought i should update on a recovered bike. Stolen friday night outside The George in Dalston. Brick lane on sunday, bike turns up after a few hours hanging around, sprayed black and gold like many other bikes being sold there. Buyer turns up, and walks with the seller to the cashpoint. I follow them and call the police. Police turn up, handcuff the seller and take the bike away. An hour or so later after giving the police a statement, i leave the station. 1 minute before i leave i see the thief/seller leave the station with a mate.

the whole thing is becoming textbook.

Glad you got your bike back. Did the police say anything to you about the thief ?

Thought there might have been a list already ! Good work.

Think a list needs to be made of places like pubs, cafes, places to eat that are bike friendly and allow you either to bring them in or have somewhere safe for you to lock up your bike so try and avoid the usual...

Think it helps if you don't sound like a southern softy

Wasn't meant to be taken seriously ! I'm from Leeds and lived in London for half my life..

No they don't dislike southerners in my experience (hates a strong word).

Thread titled 'Decals' has the link to www.hlloydcycles.com

They can sort you out.

Cheers for that.

Looking for a set for a build after I've had the frame resprayed or powder coated. Had a look at Cyclomondo on ebay but none of those are really the right style. Anyone know I decent source of these ?

Got some that will be taking of a bike in the next few days. Will check their size.

As title says, after a pair of these if anyone has them knocking about gathering dust. No problem now as just bought some from SJS Cycles...

Sorry to hear about that, been in the same situation. New build has ball bearings all over the thing. Bastards.

like these

Excellent, I'll take them. Where you based ? Will PM you.

If anyone has some knocking about I'm after a pair for a build and rather not spend £40 on some new ones.

We got one of these:

Cool cat.

CMC: you failed in making a non bling bike! :(

Crisp: what gearing you rolling? cog looks massive...

Ha ! I meant non bling as sticking out too much in a selection of locked up bikes near a pub. Looks quite plain and simple....
Thieves are like magpies !

I want one of these...

Nice Bob Crispy

Just put this together...after my last ride was striped outside a pub in Dalston a few months back. This one not as bling, more understated to try and avoid too much attention.

A mixture of Campy, Phil, H+Son, Nitto and Brooks. Feels very solid and responsive.

^ Thats actually not bad, about the same (or maybe less?) as buying from BETD

think thats about the same I paid for mine so that is good, especially as you can just pop in and buy them. No waiting about...

from 14's flickr...

bingo !!!

14 have got goldtec hub in just about every colour under the sun.

Much easier ! Bet they cost a lot though...

^ Nice! How long was the wait?

Mine took about a month but think it just depends when they have a batch ready to go to get anodised. I'd just missed a batch going off so if you timed it ok then not long probably.

These built up on to silver H+Sons got stolen recently just to really piss me off.

Who is this through, BETD? Cheers

Yeah I dealt with them direct and emailed them my colour. Took a while but was worth the wait. Will be a post on here with a picture somewhere. Found it http://www.londonfgss.com/thread13311.html
