On the padded shorts debate I have some triathlon shorts - www.2xu.com (I have never been anywhere near a triathlon though). They have a fleecy bottom which gives some padding but still has good ventillation. I love them. I also got them from TKMaxx for £20 and I saw the other day that they still have some (although I'm in Aberdeen for the weekend so no idea what the stock is like in London), they were in the mens sporty shorts bit.

I have a pair of Specialized All Condition 700x28c with less than 50miles on them (they were going to be winter tyres but by the time i put them on it wasnt really winter any more so i have given up.....)
I have just bought an old bike with 26" wheels and need some new tyres for it. Will consider anything reasonably slick that can cope with not getting punctures in London.

My colleague from work had her bike stolen lastnight (19th August) outside Holburn station - it was locked to the bike park thingy by the t-junction where Procter St. meets High Holburn.
The bike was fairly distinctive, very small frame (~49cm) ladies Giant road bike in baby blue and silver, circa 2007. She's writing a proper description which i'll update with when she sends it through.
Here is a picture of the bike from the Giant website;

EDIT, here is her description;
Giant tcr w.
Ladies road bike,
Baby blue and silver
Black bar tape
Shimano 105 brakes
Black shimano saddle
Mavic Ksyrium Equipe rear wheel, standard giant front wheel.
Stolen from Holborn 19th August.Keep an eye out people, thanks.
I found my bike on ebay and the police were pretty useless - I ended up buying it back off the guy who'd bought it.
I'd been looking out for it for sale in london but the cunning theives had moved it to Cirencester (?!) - the guy seemed to have quite a few other bikes for sale on ebay - might be worth keeping an eye out!
Dibs on the saddle please.
