Hi all,
I've pretty much literally just finished my fixed gear singlespeed, and the local scrotes have done me the favour of admiring it so much that they have stolen it whilst I was at my Mothers for her birthday.

Sorry to hear that, looks a lovely bike (and distinctive).
I'll keep an eye out for it round the East end / Canary Wharf. I too was robbed this weekend, the police advised me to check the Sunday market at Brick Lane. Stolen bikes are sold openly there sadly.
I had both my bikes nicked this weekend too. P'd off doesn't come close.

Thanks to everyone that is keeping an eye out, much appreciated.
I've got some thoughts on trying to make that easier for people -say when buying a new bike- hence registering www.stolenbikeindex.co.uk this morning.
I went to Brick Lane yesterday from Blizzard O'clock until late afternoon but with no joy.
I'm keeping an eye on Gum Tree and eBay- does anyone else have any suggestions?
Cheers all.

I don't unfortunately.
There was a similar one that I saw on e-Bay over the weekend but it looked like a 16-inch.
Has to be said. w
rs the lot of 'em. Seems to be the way of things nowadays. I had a arguement with someone on Saturday when I stopped them dumping rubbish. Got told to 'Mind my own business'. Well, after smacking them around for a while, they came to appreciate my point of view.

Well, after smacking them around for a while, they came to appreciate my point of view.I got the frame and forks from a nice RAF chap via eBay.
When I originally got them they had been shotblasted and painted black.
The finish was quite chipped, and I was considering getting them restored to the brushed finish that the frame had originally.
So one weekend I got busy with the Nitr-O-Mors, steel wool and gloves.
Over the course of a few weekends and evenings I completely stripped the frame, and gave it a basic polish using wire wool, then wet and dry.
I then took it too a little company in South Bermondsey called AC Metal Finishers.
They polished the frame to a mirror shine, then had it lacquered by a chap round the corner from them.
Total cost from AC was £100, it took around two weeks, including time for the lacquer to harden, as the forks could not be put in the oven due to the bearing races in the headshock.
I've got their contact details if you want?
