Anyone tried this on oxford street?

Nobody?

Price reduced to £25

Hi guys and girls

I have a Fizik Pave CX Sport for sale

Nice saddle, but I fancy a change. Came with my bike.

Small scuff to the right rear - does not affect ability to take your buttocks.

Also include one pair of scuff guards (I replaced these when I dropped my bike, which also scuffed the cloth which I couldn't replace)

See pics

£30 ono.

Going on fleabay in a couple of days if no interest.

Old street

Thanks!

;) but to a crackhead a £500 bike = a £50 bike effectively.

I think the gf would go apeshit if I brought 2 bikes home. She's not best pleased that we don't have a hall as it is :)

Does this mean that people have 2 bikes? One shit one to commute with and a nice one for long rides? Where do you store them if this is the case? This is the only problem I have with getting a shit bike.

7 hours! to be quite honest, that's a very long time to lock a decent bike up outside, after all you did get back at 7.30, the bike probably got stolen between 5.30 to 7.30, that give the theft 2 hours to cut the bike at dusk.

sorry to hear about your bike gotten stolen thought, if I were you, try and find an old road bike, stripped all the geared part (leave the brake), I got a rear wheel with an freewheel sproket if you want to buy it off me for £30, it even got a decent tyres on, so it's ready to run.

hopefully the overall cost will stay under £100 (assuming you pay at least £70 for an old working road bike).

chance are they're less likely to nick it since it just a shitty (but working) bike and you don't need to worry that much if it does get nicked.

cheers for the suggestion... I hate the thought of giving in to thieves though. And although I agree it is a while to leave a bike locked, I had my last one stolen in broad daylight (1pm) after leaving it for 50 mins, wheras the same bike wasn't stolen from the train station where I left it for 3 days and 2 nights.. so who knows

I work around there and just happened to be walking past. Have you asked around to see if anyone else's bike was stolen from the racks? If so, a combined attempt to look at the CCTV footage might yield some results? I'll keep a look out around the area anyway.

I've not had the chance to ask around really. When someone attempted to take my bike from there, I went to speak to cass to see about the footage - they were very unhelpful :( thanks again

Spam spam spam (sorry!)

Just realised that the yellow fixed might be your bike :D

I just live around the corner - will keep my eyes peeled. Sorry to hear your loss.

Apparently there are quite a lot of bike thieves operating in that area. Where exactly on bunhill row was stolen? I've known people have their bike stolen right outside the fitness first gym.

Sorry realised I didn't actually answer the question. Was at the set of racks behind Cass business school, as you head through to waitrose. Not the ones actually under Cass, but just across the narrow road. Think it might be called Lamb's passage:

what a pain in the bum

Guys, this forum seems like a nice place and sorry to see this thread digressed somewhat.

Those that replied below - thanks for taking an active interest :)

Was it secured with the locks in the photograph?

I left the steel-o-flex (the cable one) at home that day, and as mentioned below, used the D lock through the rear triangle. There are pinheads on both wheels - seems a lot easier and safer than the cable approach. I normally stuff the cable lock through the D lock to prevent a pump attack - wonder how they got it. The only bit left of the lock was the grey plastic housing.

Thanks for keeping a lookout! Someone tried to steal it before when I had just the flex cable - attempt at cutting it which I discovered when I got home, but I knew as soon as the key was hard to insert into the lock - they tried to force the mechanism.

I saw that bike yesterday locked on Bunhill row at about 12.30pm. I noticed you had a pitlock on the front wheel, and the Abus lock through the rear wheel and seatstays. I remember saying on the phone "quite a nice bianchi here with a pitlock on the front wheel". Really sorry to hear it was stolen, it looked like a good lock. Do you know what time it was stolen at?

! I locked it up about 12:10pm so you must have been hot on my heels. Are you a regular there?

It was stolen sometime between the above and about 7:30pm - guessing it was whilst it was dark. What was very strange is that there were no bikes there when I returned - very unusual for that particular set of racks. Perhaps a bulk white van & specialist tools job.

Again, anyone else please chime in :)

And if you local guys can suggest a first singlespeed / where to get on, please shoot me a PM or some such.

Cheers

PS Please let me know if you see it around :) (Online or in 'real life')

Hi guys - only my second post here (first about beer...), but my bike was just stolen - not a singles/fixed but its replacement will be.

Here's a piccie

Stolen bike - 16 Feb 2009 - Bunhill Row, London on Flickr - Photo Sharing!@@AMEPARAM@@http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3370/3286601468_f600e0b0d7.jpg?v=0@@AMEPARAM@@3286601468@@AMEPARAM@@f600e0b0d7

Stolen from Bunhill Row, near Old Street. Bastards. 2nd bike taken in 3 months. Know I should have changed that white tape.

Hello guys and girls!

My first post and it's related to drinks.. oops.

Well, not really - I would love to attend but don't think I qualify just yet. I just had my bike (non fixed/single) stolen for the 2nd time in 3 months and am now thinking of buying a singlespeed - any advice on a good first would be much appreciated. I'm looking around the £500-800 mark as this is what my insurance should cover.

Hope to get some tips/chat too.
