I've just had the below stolen from the bottom of Broadway market, outside the chemist by the pie and mash shop.
Black 2010 Condor Potenza
White forks
Black Condor seat post
Black Segino 75 cranks/chain ring
Nito risers, plugs and stem. no grips
ARAYA RC-540 rims
Shimano dura ace hubs
gum wall tyres front and back
black san marco saddle
black double condor strapsi was in the door way of the chemist, with view of the bike and then i saw the wheel move and some kid jumped on it and i just about grabbed him and then he slipped literally out of my fingers and spun off west down the canal. about 5/10 5/11, blue skinny jeans, purple vans, grey top, kind of maybe spanish looking. hundreds if people about...
i wasn't expecting to be stopping so had no lock, but at no point could i not see at least part of the bike - I've learnt my lesson there as you can imagine. i feel like a complete dick. the bike was my absolute pride and f*&cking joy...
i haven't got many pictures as it is but i will post what i do have later. i will reward handsomely for info or return.

hello, has anyone here got experience of cycle 2 work scheme using halrfords. my employee is in the scheme (which is ace by the way - didnt know anything about until yesterday and have been scheming to get money for a new ride...hahahah) but is locked down to using halfords. This is my first road bike but been riding mtb and bmx forever and id much prefer to build something (which i know is not possible as you have to have a complete bike) or at least get something custom built. Would i be able to get a bike shop to build something specific and then say tell halfords i want 'my custom bike' and that certain model is only available from this certain bike shop. basically whats the best way to abuse the system? by a bike and then sell it and buy what i want with the cash.........? ; )
cheers in advance, Craig.

thank you guys but i don't think its it. the white forks do come standard although mine are threaded, which is not standard....
something else to look out for is the wheels/rims - they're pretty much brand new (the front wheel is actually on the wrong way according to the tire tread but i havent had time to flip it). njs dura ace hubs, you do see... araya rc-540 you don't! i had to import them from Japan recently... also there is a 28c 'Rivendell roughly toughy' on the back and a 25c' Panracer pasela' on the front... both gum wall.
the stem is a very stubby nito, nito chopped down risers and nito metal bar ends...
the frame has a small ding on the top tube and a paint scab that is covered by a bit of black gaffa tape.
double black condor straps (gold logo) on single small nks toe clips... i know where every scratch is on the bike components. wheels are new, frame components are about 2 years, set is about 3 months.
everyone i know in east london now has an eye out for it. if the bike is in this area, part or whole, it will only be a matter of time. i wouldnt like to be the cunt who took it, i know what he (and his mate) look like and i will not hessitae to treat the matter in the same underhanded, dirty manner that the bike was taken in..
thanks again.
