Lust: is it wrong?

mtb-idle

I'm currently lusting after this lovely machine that one of my fellow office drones parks near my bike (sorry bout the quality of the pics, blackberry cam is rubbish)

Nice bike. Someone should really advise the owner how to lock it up effectively.

mtb-idle

actually I dont bother locking my bike up in that car park at all.

It's three floors underground and protected by 24 hour security guards and CCTV.

I know nothing is foolproof but I've left my bike unlocked there every day (and over a couple of nights too) for two and a half years.

EKE_38BPM

Good habits and all that.

I mean, how hard would it be to distract the guards, disable the CCTV, get into the bowels of the underground car park, cut the lock and escape without leaving any fingerprints/DNA that hasn't got a reason for already being there?

The bike in the photo is seriously gross, you need help if you're lusting after that. Don't blame the phonecam, you were p155ed at the time and had your beer goggles on, I think.

So, you trust everyone that uses that car park. Enjoy buying your new bike with the insurance money. Oh, they don't pay out 'cos it wasn't locked? Never mind.

Seriously, dude, lock your bike. If only for my piece of mind.....

Hi,
Surely coveting rather than lusting... still a Sin, though, so I guess it should be considered "wrong" :-)

Cheers,

Chromed stays and fork - very nice. Stars and bars paint scheme... Not so good, people might think you are a septic.

The bike you are "lusting" after is so shit I can only assume this is a troll

EKE_38BPM

I kinda like it. The paintscheme is a bit gaudy and I would change a few things if it were mine, but its got a certain old skool kool.

You trolling there?

(Don't like the paintjob but it looks a pretty decent bike)

Nice bike - shame about the paint job

I lock mine up at work purely cos i dont want anyone riding it round, even tho we have a secure car park...

I lust over a girl at work and thats about it :P

I have similar issues with a bike that is locked up in our underground Bike Cage. It's a single speed bike which looks like a bike forSpiderman. I'm not one who realyl likes fixed/single speeders either.

I don't know whats happening to me...

I should try to get a pic... would be funny if the owner lurks on here... :P

I quite like it. Concorde bikes were made by CIOCC using Columbus tubing. Would make a nice chopped, brakeless fixie 8)

I think i see this on my commute. It is a nice bike.

I like it !

I have an ageing raliegh in a purple paint job converted to flat bars with orange grips and brake leavers ( I picked up for feck all) and the number of people that have commented and said they like it is quite silly really. It's not a patch on my cube!!

I'm sorry but you clearly have no colour sense - stick to the Cube - they seem to specialise in monochrome

That's Evel Knievel's old commuter.

I'm currently lusting after this:

But given that I'm looking for a frame for winter club runs and so must have guards it doesn't really fit the bill.

Can someone who lives near my buy it so that I can see it occasionally?
