Stolen - Brompton M6R

[TheDoctor]

Stolen from Angel, Islington on 17 June around 2130.

Black M6R with wider non-standard saddle and a small seat pack. I have the frame number should anyone happen upon a suspicicously cheap one.

This is also bad news - sorry to hear it Tony.

Oh Grim: What or where is Angel, that is two from the same place now?

 

[Landslide]

Angel, Islington. We were on this ride. A real pi$$er of an end to the evening.

I feel guilty (and relieved) to say that I took mine from the same rack likely minutes before this happened, after the two of them kindly took the three locks we had in place off to let me go

shitter, sorry

Horrible, bike theft leaves you cold. At the risk of appearing to have fantastic hindsight, is it not normal for Bromptons to be with the owner due to their foldability? I thought that was their USP?

Hope you get it back and the Karma police make a visit.

possibly?
(also possibly not, to be fair to the seller, but lack of detail is quite amazing)

There's no way a Brompton owner would sell their Brommy to finance their car insurance.

Well, yes, I suppose so, but the place we were eating was a bit jammed. I'd have injured a few people getting the bike in.

At least I'll get something from the insurance peeps.

That's a bummer - what locks did you have...?

 

[TheDoctor]

Cable locks that could be chopped with bolt cutters.
Please don't tell me I should have used a decent D-lock. I'll cry if you do.

We live and learn mate.

Anyone sent a text asking colour and model?

By the way, if everyone clicks the link, the seller might get wise. This happened on timetriallingforum when a distinctive powertap rental wheel appeared on eBay.

 

[TheDoctor]

It has been sold. The bike in the link, that is, although I expect mine has been by now...
