For your next build, make sure your seatpost is black.

Not helpful.

LOL, what a wiseass!

Keep an eye out on gumtree.

I'll keep an eye out for it in DC.

...really though good luck getting it back.

When I was in college I had a badass 20" Hoffman, when he first started making bikes. It was amazing, like a prototype or something I was able to acquire when I was wrenching at a shop in Tucson.

I left it ulocked one night outside my place, came out, an the bars and seat/post were gone. Went in to get my key to bring it inside, came back out, wheels and fork were gone. Then I went in to call the police, and when I came back out, the whole bike was missing.

So I filed a report, and 3 weeks later I was doing community service at the Tucson zoo and saw some effing punk cruising on my now *******ized 20". He was a 13 year old pre pubescent boy with his fishing pole. I caught him gave him the option to hand it over and walk away, but he kept insisting "he bought it in california", so I had him arrested.

At the end of the day, all the high end parts were sold and the kid replaced them with bull**** wall mart crap, and even then, the bike was returned to me frame only with a massive dent in the top tube from popping the u-lock. I then turned around and sold it for $300 to sucker I knew.

Just keep your head up dude, it'll probably turn up.

That sucks. Have you checked out Brick Lane yet?

BTW, exactly which locks were defeated?

Sucks about the bike, but this is ****ing hilarious.

Funny, I was just in London earlier this week. Unfortunately, I left the 20th, so it couldn't have been me.

a friend of mine in london says that's where a good number of stolen bikes end up. definitely scope out brick lane.
