I didn't leave a note. I didn't have any pen/paper on me, plus I think it was abandoned. Had a flat tyre and one of the cranks had fallen off.

This is my bike, that was stolen a few weeks ago from my garage, locked up on the way home from the pub.

This is the same bike, with the stem loosened and the front wheel removed, back in my flat.

If not for this thread, I would not have thought it possible to recover without bolt cutters, so thank you everyone that's ever posted in here.

I'm about to post a pic in the how not to lock your bike thread, cos it's back in my flat right now! (minus front wheel)

I will be shortly, just waiting for the mrs to bring one down. I dont want to leave it unattended even, since it was nicked I'm a bit paranoid/ over cautious

I know it's late but does anyone near aldgate have any bolt cutters? I've just found my bike locked up outside aldgate station and I don't want to move until its back in my possession

I emailed them this morning about my bike but have so far not had a response. Does anyone know if they're usually quick to respond?

Nah, both mine and housemates were standard, non-qr.

^ That's a shame mate. How was it locked for the wheel to still be there?

Locked through the rear wheel only - it's one of those semi-vertical stands. I had stupidly thought it would be ok considering you need a keyfob to get in or out of the garage, and it's massive, and there are way nicer bikes down there. Housemate's rear wheel got taken at the same time, so I'd imagine they're riding around on that.

Please keep an eye out for my bike that got stolen from the supposedly secure garage beneath my flat in Aldgate on Sat/Sun. It's an ancient no-name frame that's been painted metallic purple with components that were mostly bought from here (b43 wheels, ITM stem, rolls saddle).

Will likely have mis-matched wheels now as the rear b43 is still locked to the stand.

But with chrome forks

It's pretty massive, so hopefully the scum that nabbed it has fallen off it and hurt themselves.

Crown seat is 26.4 - you cant really tell from the pics but there is a lamp hanger thing on them as well. Let me know if you want them before Saturday please, cos I'll throw em out otherwise.

I have some old threaded forks that you can have for nothing if you can collect them this week. The paint's a bit battered though. I will try and take a pic tonight and measure the crown race seat - the steerer is definitely long enough though.

Cheers, they're really expensive though. £41 per unit is a lot. Have found cheapest around £26. Anyone know anyone cheaper?

Where did you find em for £26? Cheapest I've found so far was £35

Nice but can't help thinking that when you have a t-shirt on that 'bell' on the bottom right will look like a flacid cock pokin out, japseye n all...

It's alright - when I've got a t shirt on you can't see any of it, and it's only gonna look like that for another week til the next session.

^ I think it's awesome. Who's it by? Is there any context to it?

@hugo7 I was really lucky and caught some cancellations so didn't have to wait for long. Not sure how long his waiting list is normally. He was really good to talk to, I went in with a load of photos and he instantly started folding and moving them around, sizing them up against my arm etc. I wasn't going to get it done if I wasn't comfortable with him and I was, he's a top bloke.

Here's the photo I went in with:

And here's a pic before it was wrapped up

@kboy - not in London but not far - there's a guy called James who works out of Nine in Brighton who does a lot of bird tattoos and they're awesome. Looks like there website is down but there are a few pics on their myspace

First session was yesterday, and you're right, Piotrek totally knows what he's doing. So fucking happy with what I've got and it's only a third finished! Not going to have space for the second lion in the same place now but I'm thinking of other places to put it.

chris - really? floored by a road hump?!

Really! I didn't think it through. Always gotta keep that front wheel straight on the landing.

Can I have dibs on
Campagnolo Mirage calipers - good condition (£25)
Campagnolo Mirage chainset 53/39 172.5mm - bit rubbed, but otherwise good condition (£30)
for a friend please.

I'm a bit scared of it now

Provisional dibs on the forks for a friend. Can't tell from the pics - they aren't threaded are they?

I'm 26, despite what my drawing and bmxing abilities might lead you to think

Maybe a stupid question, but how safe is it to load up carbon - eg. with a rack?

I'm after some 1 1/8" unthreaded forks to go on an 09 fuji track frame I've just picked up.

Colour/ paint condition not an issue as I'm going to get them powdercoated anyway.

Ideally with eyelets for mudguards, but let me know what you've got. Thanks!
