stolen bike. nasty attack.
Discussion
Glad to see they caught one of the s
ts and he will have to be careful in the shower for a while.
Just an observation here but I wonder if crimes like this would decrease if manufacturers didn't smother their bikes in stickers advertising their value.
You know, frame, tyres, wheels, saddle, brakes etc etc.
Was never like that when I was a lad.
My 2 bikes are covered in them.
Maybe there should be a debadge option.

thats been my thought too.thats why iv been looking at chinese carbon 29er frames for my next bike.
probably going to go for matte 3k finish so it doesnt stand out to the hawkeyed chavs.
this sort of thing.
i plan to have no logo's at all on the bike though.

Easy fix - cover the logos with tatty stickers and suchlike - it's what I've done.ts and he will have to be careful in the shower for a while.Just an observation here but I wonder if crimes like this would decrease if manufacturers didn't smother their bikes in stickers advertising their value.

The biggest problem with this is if you ride a stealth bike you'll get ran over if you ride a bike people can see you get jacked for it. thats why iv been looking at chinese carbon 29er frames for my next bike.

There's only one solution...
"I was on my way to a baseball game officer when these guys attacked me".
Did you check the Bikeshd website ?
http://bikeshd.co.uk/
it pools free web sale adverts to one place if you spot your bike and click the pic it takes you to the original advert.

update time.
the one scrote who got caught for the attack gave a last minute guilty plea and got a rather nice 7 1/2 year sentance.
a bloody good result and a lot more than i thought he would get.
he was a proper scumbag, 28 yrs old with 23 prior convictions and 13 previous jailings but this is a lot longer than any stretch he's had so far.
im a very happy dudleybloke!!!!!!!
