London Fixed-gear and Single-speed

Shit, finally have something to post of my (sort of) own in this thread.

Gwyn_Again just had her front 650 wheel nicked from Regent Road, outside the Prince Regent whilst working, this evening at about 7.00:

Shimano hub (ultegra i think, can't fully remember) on a Mavic Open 4CD rim, with a black Continental tyre on it, brown gumwalls. Bought off JD, a bad pic of it here.



Its a fucking 650 and its Brixton, so the crackhead won't be able to shift it or put it on a MTB for the next rock. Utterly pointless and annoying. Off to cycle around and see if the local kids took it, but Sam the Wheels hadn't been offered it....

if anyone sees it, can they let me know Oh 7786436OhOH74. Money paid etc.

ta lovelies

:( Sorry to hear that

hope you got this sorted chris, sorry if I sounded a bit out of it on the phone. It's because I was! I was so tired I could barely stay on my bike.

bummer.

7pm, Friday night, on a hot summer evening outside a pub that is always rammo and no-one saw?! Probably too busy drinking their Pimms and Chardonnay!

Good luck with the search though Chris, eyes peeled

You know a 650 is actually very similar to a 26" wheel in size, the crackhead may well be able to stick it on their mtb.

(sorry, not helping)

sorry to hear it, will try and retrieve it if I see it around.

oh man, what a pain in the arse - just as you had it finished!
Eyes open.

Cheers all, bumped into the local CSO last night who's a bike geek too, who's helped me report the theft, but its not turned up yet.

@ DFP - teenslain and I were joking last night about seeing one of the brixton youth riding with a dinky wheel at the front of their full suss mountain bike (with de rigeur cut rear brake cable)...
