I have the exact same bike and was at broadway market with it on saturday where two guys asked me how much my bike was worth. I fobbed them of with only a couple of hundred quid. They said they had a mate who had the exact same bike and was looking to sell it but wasnt sure how much to ask for. I seen both of them the next day at brick lane trying to flog a lemond fillmore. I know their faces and would be happy to bring out my koga in order to strike up a conversation to get them talking about it all and hopefully make them say something stupid. They may also have a hand in the whereabouts of selimski wheels.... Call creative if you need to get in touch with me by phone.
We had a problem with bike thieves in Perth (who doesn't). Bit of an infamous story amongst Perth bike couriers. Years ago a courier got his bike nicked and the call went out on the radios. It's a small enough city with probably 80 couriers at that time. Someone spotted the thief with bike and got him. Riders came to the scene and took him up onto the high walkway that crosses over the railway line from the city into northbridge. They D-locked him by the throat to the fence and left him there.
Double good news, firstly congratulations Selim, secondly, Greenflash has been reunited with his Koga... Big thanks to Szamec? (Moses to some..) who was in the right place at the right time, also a big thanks to Yan' and Marcin and everyone at Brick Lane Bikes for all the help locating the bike.
2 bikes stolen the same weekend. Both returned. Karma.
That said, still I like the Idea that Zack has talked about.... (except the perp should be stripped)
Well thank you Crash, I was at the exchange and should have been more reporterish in my fact finding, apologies and again thanks Przemek, who's name I will not forget now...
"also a big thanks to Yan' and Marcin and everyone at Brick Lane Bikes for all the help locating the bike."
I bet Yan "locates" a lot of bikes, but few will make it back to their owner... I witnessed a sweating crackhead run in to BLB with a lean locked bike over his shoulder, dumped round the back and off he went for more... Quick respray and a few hundred from a hipster...
If it's true what zerofivezero says, then that crack hole BLB should be shut down. Our bikes are more likely to get stolen because of #$&*heads like that.
oh yeah you einstein thanks for telling everyone how we make money in the shop......i should look some for other work now.... on the serious note what kind of stupid motherfukker are you????
