"If God had meant for us to work
Then I’m sure he would have given us jobs
Six weeks to live but at least I’m not in Journey
Sign on you crazy diamond."

Man alive, nice rides people. We could be in double figures ahead of the coalition's projections. And I keep spotting a lovely wintered up white and blue one commuting down Lee High Rd Se13. All full mudguards and lights.......

Amen, I now recall they did it on TOTP playing chess on a revolving floor with videos of dolphins or summat. Mmmmm, the Nineties.

Apart from the music when he's wandering round from one minute in and rub a duck I just remebered !!!!! It's The Orb Toxygene, Me wan skin up now !!!

Still on the trail of the tune used on the bbc f1 coverage this morning, and no it's not The Chain,I know what the Chain is !! I'm 39 !!! It's the mild techno bed they use wandering around the markets from 1 minute in. It's the most curious of experiences as I can see myself spliffed out somewhere immersed in this song but up until this morning It had totally fallen out of my brain. Hey, maybe I just had my first flashback ?
Anyway, 1 minute to about 2.30. Waa be da choon ?? (For the youngingtons out there)

Woah ! What was the instrumental the 1pm bbc1 F1 qualifying programme started with today ? I recognised it and had one of those moments when you hear a song you've totally blanked out and forgotten. Sounded mid 90's, bouncy techno/pop, about 90 bpm, a bit like The Grid or Jean Michelle Jarre with Oriental instrumentation. Quite lush and organic and choral..........
It's doin' me head in !

Cranks sold.

Anyones little Pinarrelo ? http://www.gumtree.com/london/47/67282147.html

Holy crap ! It's back !! http://www.gumtree.com/london/19/67212419.html
"Brand new futuristic grey and white 46T Shimano Nexus crank (new old stock, circa 1985, sourced from USA, alone worth £120) "
No doubt picked up in a De Lorean, and all yours for only 590 Marty McFly pounds, mmmmmm.

Jesus! And you have email, from The Beatles !

Ashley seems to think he's in compettition with Evans the number of bikes he's trying to flog. 'Cept Evans don't change their names, re-format their phone number or give varied and bollocks excuses for why they're selling hooky rides.
I have forwarded the ads, his number AND what I suspect to be his facebook page and therefore likely identity to the mets cycle task force. Hopefully they will investigate.
Of course he might have a legitimate reason for such an obscure business model, hey! Maybe we should email him and arrange a forum drinky to receive his wisdom, join forces and give all the overworthy but can't be arsed hipster shops the good hiding they so richly deserve.

Richard. Bacon.

Both above points are of course correct. These posts can go down as quick as they go up, and we'll not know the reason. However one viewpoint would be that if there's a chance of alerting the owners to what might be their bikes we should perhaps take it. If I deffo spotted someones exact bike from here I would just pm them.
It probably needs a sharper mind than I to call on wether posting dodgy ads is counter productive but if pricks like Ashley are takimg action based on us posting then we are at the very least disrupting there little enterprise.
Nobody steals a bike cause they like bikes, they just like money. It's just a 'product' that happens to be reasonably stealable and easily marketable. These twats will always rob and fence but if we can disrupt their ability to turn a bike to cash quickly then there's a chance bikes will become a less attractive target. When I were a nipper it was cars, then the industry woke up and introduced barriers (Imobilisers, trackers, key code technology etc) and alot of thieves probably moved on to something else.
My previous career centred on the protection of stock and money and although not the most direct and satisfying method of securing your business, disruption and annoying the fuck out of those targeting you slowly saw them move on. Ashley needs money for his 'spliffs' and 'next level beats' and at the moment he's clearly finding bikes a good proposition. If his ability to flog his stuff starts to get too complicated and difficult he might start fencing other 'products' out of nessecity.
I don't have the definitive answer but I'm looking forward to hopefully opening a dialogue with the cycle task force to garner their opinions, it is the police after all who have the mandate and experience to deal with these bumholes, not some miserable northern layabout with one of the worst hangovers I've had this year.
Stay safe people !

And the cycle task force have been duly informed. I shall let you all in on their reply when it comes. Right, back to www.bikeshd.com to find more fencing twats.

I don't know about you guys, but I often sell loads of bike all in one day. When I'm bored loik. There's more if you play with how he types his mobile. Stolen bike fencing prick.

I've emailed my concerns to the Mets Cycle task force. They can probably make a smarter judgement call than me. Who knows what might happen.......

^^ Another 4 bikes up in the last minute from our Ashley, including a Brompton.

Anyone got any ideas how we can annoy the fuck out of him ???

Hi,

I had a Black Specialised Tricross stolen from Hackney Road last Monday - it's the 2010 model.

Reported it to police and they wont take any investigation further. I'm sure I've seen it on Gumtree but the advertiser won't answer calls and texts. Dont think i'll try my luck at Brick Lane as I think I'd get into a bit of trouble if I did see someone trying to sell it. These cheeky fuckers make my blood boil....if anyone has any ideas please post. Thanks

Yes, that ebay tricross could very well be this.

Bent as fuck, like his other ads.

Timelines, history, movements, Wilson's double helix. It's all blurred into one. All that matters is that it doesn't. Oh and that it sounds nice.

Loads going on here but worth the wait for Mr Wallace and Mr Dwight having some kind of gangsterist vocal love fest. Gets me every time.
