Had a combi lock on it - sorry I can't remember the make. Lock was new, cost about 40 quid.

Thank you - such a pain. It is pretty distinctive. I have been flying around looking for it, will keep looking to see if it's been locked up nearby.

On lower belgrave road, bike was taken from a lamp-post while I was inside a shop. Within 90 seconds... light blue Peugeot geared bike, recently advertised on the classifieds. Will post a photo shortly.

Yellow tyres
Suicide gear-levers
Light metallic blue, 54cm Frame

New chrome pedals/cages, new chrome brakes on the cross bar.

Have had the bike up and running for 2 days. Any help or a spot greatly, greatly appreciated.

Also, I am offering a reward of £70.00 for anyone who spots in resulting in recovery.

Thank you,

I wish I was a balla (or a little bit taller)

That's the bike, built it up out of some quite random parts.. don't need the tensioner as used a half link so will be taking that off this week.. it can fly! Some cheap bits I need to replace (crank), some great bits I am happy with (F&F, Cinelli bars)

How much do they charge for frames/forks? Specifically i'm looking for a reynolds/columbus lugged steel frame.. ideally want to have the fork, back and lugs chromed

Are KHS alu frames any good, there used to be one called the aero I think, and now flite 100?

Immiscible is truly immiscible with this thread

Thanks for that, Velocio what would you say best wheels are for city riding? I do the odd 10 mile ride but in general it's 4-5 miles, want to keep weight low as I like to fly amongst traffic!

Ok - so have a singlespeed bike I cobbled out of old/odd bits, and am going to upgrade/replace gradually.. YES I am learning about this stuff so don't have a clue etc etc. This one will be Fixed

Cinelli Mash/Vigorelli - what are the pros and cons of each? I'm looking for one in 53cm, decided I want Aluminium with Carbon as it's what I have at the moment and want to keep road noise to a minimum on commute.

Wheels - was thinking deep Vs, what's best for a fast, lightweight build for speeding along to work on London roads? Once again trying to keep it comfortable. Also, advice on hubs would be appreciated, what is important here?

Crankset - want something light, strong and short (I have a fear of pedal strike!), something track related a good idea? Was thinking Sugino 75 or similar, but don't want to spend a tonne of money for the sake of it.

Any helpful advice, offers to sell are appreciated!

Ed

Ah ok thanks, i'll bid 75 to start things off

Sorry stupid new question etc etc..

Are they clinchers or tubulars?

Ok slight change of plan.. does anyone know much about these cinelli/mash frames?

Bike will be ready for next Monday... now I just have to make a mallet

310 bid delivered

PM me before you leave!

130? ARRGH! Anyone who has a lo pro nice steel frame around this size PM ME!

I always miss the best ones! Arrgh

RPM = beautiful, am still laughing 10 minutes later! Dusting off the samurai suit now

What about a lo pro frame? If I get one of those and pair it up with risers, the seat position might be quite good right?

Also.. is White eccentric hub heavy, does anyone have experience of one of those?
Ed

Slightly off topic, I bought one of these about 5 months ago.. rode it for about a month, 4 mile commute each way.. was freewheel. Changed it fairly quickly for my current bike which is light years ahead, but for 140 (bought it new NOT stolen), it was quite a good deal.. without it I wouldn't have got into cycling in the city.

How many of them have really had breaks/fails that are dangerous? This one was ragged around in snow, rain, kept outside etc, and it's still going (gave it to a mate).. are they really that bad?

On having a brakeless one, that IS retarded, I wouldn't have a brakeless anything though!

Yes they deleted my negative feedback when they blocked my account! Fk

Think he reported me, sent me a tonne of threatening style emails, although i'm still not quite sure exactly what a pusie hoole is?

Told him to fk off and then gave him negative feedback saying he was a scammer and that all +ve feedback was left by himself! Crazy that they don't see what is going on.. I had 52 feedback!! Have made a new one am hunting for his items now..
