Bike Description

** STOLEN INDEPENDENT FABRICATION STEEL DELUXE ** Graphite Gray metallic frame with white decals and powder blue details. BESPOKE FRAME & build.... Wednesday Oct 23rd.

  My bike was stolen on Wednesday night this week from Deptford Foundry, New Cross, London SE14 6BS CCTV Footage shows the bike being taken (with four others) using an angle grinder. They accessed two locked doors to get into the bike store. The bike is a one off. Custom frame Independent Fabrication Mountain Bike. Steel Deluxe model. The paint job is bespoke and very obvious. Graphite metallic gray frame and with white IF logo decals and powder blue bands around the frame logo. It also had three looped blue bands around the rear chainstays. Groupset (I literally just changed some of it) is all Shimano XT. Distinctive 2 Ring chainset. Forks are Fox Talas. It has Cranks Brothers iodine ‘all mountain’ 26” wheels which have a really unusual twin spoke pattern. Again very distinctive. I’ve never seen another bike with these wheels In London and I’ve been riding for 15 year. Chris King headset and bottom bracket (chrome). Thomson stem and seat post. Odi Troy lee grips and bar ends. This bike was more than a bike to me. To say I’m gutted doesn’t even come close.
