My bike got stolen this morning from my 'secure' carpark in a block of apartments on creek road. The bike was a chrome charge plug racer. It had badly taped (white) bullhorn bars and the chain I had replaced just yesterday (it is black now rather than the red). The rest was original. Unfortunately I don't have a pic, but if anyone sees it, I would love to know.
I'm in SE8 mate. Will keep my eyes peeled. Make sure you report it too, the local police are having a bit of a cycle theft crackdown at the moment.

i could well be wrong but the lack of detail in the description made it look a bit dodge.

What is suspicious about an eBay seller listing a load of bikes and power tools cash on collection in Kings Cross? ;)

So after a weekend away, I go to ride to work and some ARSEHOLE has nicked my front wheel from the car park of our building. Sigh.
On the plus side, my tourer makes easy work of London's shitty roads.
Over to classifieds for me now...

With a track record of "1" - nothing, nothing at all. Seems totally legit to me

I don't think so, I usually cycle from Acton to Vauxhall and don't use any trains or lock up near one. The bike got stolen after 3 years of use because I forgot my lock and had to borrow one from security guards when they wouldn't let me keep the bike indoors at work over night. It's my own stupid fault.
I've not seen it on gumtree or ebay yet but someone is selling genesis's on gumtree with no picture and will only accept a phone call to find out more. -

This caught my eye
http://www.gumtree.com/p/for-sale/create-fixie-2010/89065902
only because he mentions that 'all the gears are changing smoothly'.
Just a hunch

Check the description - almost identical. Fishy...?

• #7238
Create owners probably think they have gears....

I had my bike stolen last week from Russell Square / Holborn.
Was a black Ridgeback Tourer with brown-taped drops and a black Selle racing saddle.I know there's no real hope of seeing it again, but if anyone does see any ads for something similar it'd be great if you could let me know.
Now looking to take on my first build to replace it, so if anyone's got a cheap 58cm Reyonolds frame they want to sell me...!?

"This bike is very light, very fast and great to ride. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did :) " As he sped away from the owner... Think this needs to be reported perhaps. And it appears he fluctuates between a 54 and 58 frame size... Pegleg?
I can see how the other guy would have confused teeth with gearing if riding a readymeal like that... Probably thinks that a saddle is called a seat and handlebars are steering wheels
These anyone's???

Has anyone here lost a 56cm 2009 Condor Pista?
I posted a frame on gumtree, asking for swaps for a steel frame, and this odd guy called and tried to sell me it - a complete bike and wasn't interested in my frame at all.
He wanted £400 for a complete bike, which seems a little too cheap, and didn't know all that much about it.
Also said that he wasn't going to post it online which was a little odd

anyone lose an all black fuji bike? didnt get much of a look but it had chopped riser bars and gatorskins. dodgy lookin/sounding fella who was about a foot too short for it asked if i wanted to buy it at elephant and castle there. would have questioned it but my brain isnt working too quickly this morning
My bike got nicked outside of the marksmen pub on hackney rd last night. Its not the greatest of bikes but you quickly realise how much you like something when its gone. If anyone gets it back ill make it worth your while. Or even if you spot please let me know.
