Thanks so so much for all your help guys. You can't believe how happy its made my gf. Part of being stolen from is that your paranoid that people are horrible and by you coming out for a stranger, you've shown her not al people are like that. We are touched. We are picking up a bike from a guy from camden today. Will keep you updated with pics too when she's finally rolling :)

Hey guys,
I need help. We went out today and brought a bike for my girlfriend. After we bought a lock from decathlon, with some lights and a helmet. We quickly popped into the library at surrey quays to print something and when we came out someone had cut our lock and the bike was gone. She didn't even have it a day.
As you can imagine she was heartbroken. She sobbed and howled in the street. People thought id broken up with her.
We don't have much money, and thats why she was so sad. Because that was going to be our little thing and we saved to get it. We can't afford to get another.
This is why i need your help. Has anyone got an old bike or one that just needs tlc that i can surprise her with. I feel sick and my heart is broken for her. It doesn't need to be flash. It just needs to roll. Even if you'd like a little bit of money for it i don't mind.
The bike stolen btw was a black globe work in a small frame with a specialised seat and silver handlebars.
Can any one help us out in any way?
Thanks
Matt

Hello,
Im a freelance Photographer and Photographic lecturer. I am also too a keen fixie fan and single speed owner. As i photographer i see the advantages of using a single speed in London, just like couriers i suspect.
Ive had bikes in the past I've felt no connection to. If they got stolen i would only really care about the monetary value lost. Ive also had bikes that felt like they are a part of me, i would catch myself looking at it in my apartment and would be heartbroken if it was ever taken away from me. I can't explain the relationship really. Ive got a suspicion that I'm not the only one.
What I'm looking for is to shoot portraits of you with your fixie/single speed. The only rule is that you should have a deep connection to your bike and a part of you should be visible from your choice of bike/paint/style/componants etc etc.
I would come to you, set up a background and make your photo. If your interested and if i gain enough interest i will be producing a book from the project. Please contact me through pm if your interested for further details.
ONLY IF YOUR LIVING IN LONDON.
My work is at thisisvaldr.com
Thanks

Amy was given a bike today by a very very kind member of this forum. She's now over the moon. We are both made up. Thank you community! Faith in humanity restored! :)
