    didnt think people would be that cheeky but someone has let himself into the hallway of my house in stoke newington and stole my bike on saturday afternoon!

    -white genesis flyer 54cm frame with black front fork, there are a lot of them out there but this one has not quite the standard set up any more:

    -black zebra stripes on the frame and red handle bar tape with black nobbles over the brakes
    -mavic open pro wheels, the back one is a flip flop wheel
    -the gear ratio looks a lot different to most standards as the front ring has something like 53 teeth and the back one has 11, i think.
    -it also has double-sided shimano spd s with platic cover pedals on one side and a different saddle from the usual one in black cloth covered with flex written on the side

    any suggestions or hints are welcome as i do love my bike and hope to see it again some time!

    many thanks!

    thanks, cant believe this has really happened....so, the same dirty little scumbag who stole my bike came back two days later to steal my two housemates heavily chained bikes too! one is a peugot 1979 turquoise frame converted into a single speed with white handle bars and black saddle (he loved his bike dearly) and the other one a rather plain grey sirrus with panniers...funny thing though is that he/she/it (doesnt really deserve the right to be a "subject") left my "new replacement" which is a rosty and birdpoo covered relict from the past untouched...the even funnier thing: i recieved a phonecall from a worried police officer stating that "chaining your bike to a good, solid lamppost" is a better security than locking them up inside your home!

    Hope you get your bikes back and the thief try's that shit at my house, if he she it gets lucky the first thing I get my hands on is the .38 snub. We don't tolerate horse thieves round here.

    and yep, thats what i thought...might be moving back to brighter parts of london such as hackney or manor house, at least i could leave it just outside my house unlocked :-P
