on saturday night i had my blue track bike stolen in clapton. is the bike i use everyday for work, some of you have probably seen it(slopping,goldtec hubs on mavic open pros,riser bars...). today, sunday, i saw a bloke with fucking hipster look riding it in stocke newington church street, so i started running after him but couldn't catch him(i guess running it's not my thing...) so i'll keep eyes open coz i live in the area, but if you guys see this bastard riding my bike, give me a call or try to stop him or whathever you feel like....

Hey amigo, will keep an eye out in the local hood. Besides being *ahem* a fashion victim bastard, how did this above mentioned guy look?

I live in Stokey, I'll keep an eye out for it. I got my brand new bike stolen a month ago in Hackney, I know your pain intimately. Definitely check out Brick Lane, that's supposed to be where alot of stolen bikes end up. Check gumtree too.

Sh!t man.that scuks...I am in the Czech write now, so cannot really help. But once I am back will check in Mile End.
You know I am good at finding stolen bikes...I am the bikehunter!u will get your bike back!......ok,it is not funny...
good luck.

It's possible that if some guy is blatantly riding it around in the same area it was nicked that it was quickly pushed on to a stranger, who was either idiotically unaware of the situation, or dubious but went ahead with the sale all the same. This would be good news, as it's likely it'll be spotted time and time again. Do not hesitate to accost this person. I've seen people riding the same model as was stolen from me, but was never in a position to chase after them. Like I said, good luck with this man, and I live in the area so will keep my eyes firmly peeled.

There are people out there who will challenge people if they're seen riding a bike reported stolen. The day I bought my replacement bike (same model as the stolen one, LeMond Etape) I was straight back to work when I bumped into Dazzler, before making his acquaintance, and I had to explain myself.

Though I doubt he would have decked me if he had been suspicious. Too much of a pansyboy

dan- have you reported this to the police? if the bicycle is recovered can you prove ownership? if so i would advise taking pictures into bike shops, it's a classic when someone who knows nothing about bicycles comes in with a very nice customised bike and asks you to replace "these weird little pedals". if the picture's on the wall and the police have been notified it's easy to recover it.

if it's not reported and the bike is recovered with force then you could be looking at a charge for mugging- and he'll keep the bike.

i've had my fair share of bikes robbed so i feel your pain. although what i find more shocking is how many people live round stoke newington. bonkers. anyway, i'll keep my eyes peeled too.


although if i find your bike first i'll be sticking at least one brake on it before returning it...

i used to ride my red colnago with a yellow back tyre and blue front tyre

i don't live in nappy valley.

i have lived in stokey since 92 when i became a courier - i really love change, me.
I used to ride a red and blue Condor and had my balls enameled to match. Sadly no-one ever got to see

what frame is your pram? i think i saw a green dolan with red tires the other day. the dad was doing track-stand bottle feeds, was that you?

that's great news. was it locked up? did you cut it off or wait for whoever had it?

bookerT! I hate thieves! by the way martin is funkin ace 4 that! big up you boy!

That's awesome. I love it when that happens. Nice work, 77!
