Spotted some time ago on Newman Street just off Oxford Street, it almost looks like a 1:1 ratio, how can anyone contemplate riding this in London? The only time I've seen ratios like this have been on trick bikes.

Anybody claim this tiny GI machine?

    That's literally round the corner from where I work. Never, ever hang around there without inviting me out for a beer. Unless you're in lycra, in which case I've never met you.

    Possibly a polo bike, although that wouldn't explain the reflectors.

    Two good locks there (one unused) - but that stand....sheesh, you'd cut through that in seconds.
