latest mod of my brommie EXTRA2 stolen,auction and back 2 me /ブロの最近の改造 番外編 2 盗難、オークション出品、取り戻し
So my Brommie has returned to me.
Though some of the parts recently installed have been missing.
They are: reverse brake levers, stand, Brooks Flyer Special S saddle and saddle position adopter with quick release lever, Black Diamond's head light. These parts can be used as standard parts for any bicycles in general.
盗難に遭ったブロンプトンは戻ってきました。
車体は戻ったものの幾つかの部品等は自転車泥棒に盗まれたままで解決してません。それらは、ダイアコンペの逆ブレーキレバー、ブルックスのフライヤー・スペシャル S、スタンド、ブラックダイアモンドのヘッドライト、サドルポジションアダプターなどです。これらの部品はブロンプトン以外にも使用できるからでしょう。
Brompton is very unique. The design and its concept is very original. You need special attention for Brompton. What do I mean by that? I will tell you.
Shimano is the one of the giants of the bicycle parts makers like Microsoft in computers. BTW I am a Mac user :-) Almost all the bicycle in the market use Shimano's parts. Well, I am not sure is there any bike like "no Shimano parts configuration" because I am not in the know of bikes, I am not a hobby rider, sorry. Perhaps there is bike like that in Europe, especially very expensive bikes. The company has influential power towards the bike market. Shimano is Japanese comapany so there is actually no bikes with out Shimano's parts! Brompton is the one with out Shimano's.
ブロンプトンは独特の自転車です。仕様や意匠も秀逸で、他に例を見ません。ちょっとコツのいる自転車かも知れません。どう言う意味かと言えば、例えばシマノ製品を使わずに組上げられてます。これは自転車世界では脅威とも言えます。そんな自転車が他にあるのかは私は良くは知りませんが（所謂、自転車趣味人とかでは無いので詳しくないです）、そんな自転車は聞いた事はないです。それくらいシマノ製品はどこかに使われてる率が高い訳です。シマノは自転車界のマイクロソフトとも言われてて、自転車業界はシマノの機種改良の影響をモロに受けるそうです。まさに、マイクロソフトですね、因に私はMacユーザですけど。
the handle bar was replaced by the bike shop, saying "a lad in my shop says thats not popular" ... uh, really? but they kept it in the shop and i got it. i m lucky indeed since i got a such a sense ordinary japanese dont like it!
ハンドルがMタイプに交換されていました。「店の若い子が、Pタイプは人気ないからって、こっちに換えましてん」そうでっか・・・。まぁ、でも元のハンドルは残っていたので返してもらいました。良かった、人気のないハンドルを好むセンスを俺は持ってて。
skate wheels were replaced as cheap trindles by the bike shop.
"oh, we changed them new wheels which i bought em @ DIY store since former wheels were dirty" "wheres my skate wheels, sir?" "threw em away when cleanin up for new years." "very well, sir. very well"
ベアリングローラーもホムセンで売ってる安いヤツに交換済み！「前に着いてヤツは汚かったから、新しいのをホームセンターで買って取り替えましてん」「ああ、そうですか・・・、で前のはどこに？」「年末の大掃除の時に捨てましたわ」
「ああ、そう。そうですか、そうですか・・・」
the brake levers are very cheap lookin ones. 4 taiwan bromptons?! not sure.
they say theres no brake levers & they had to get new levers, wires.
well they also are victims who has 2 return it to the owner i d say.
大分安い感じのブレーキに・・・。台湾ブロ用？！解りませんけど。ブレーキレバーは無かったそうです。で、新しいのをワザワザこれように揃えたと・・・。
まぁ、一応彼らも盗難品を掴まされた被害者ですからね。
i cant say anythin bout it.
何も言えませぬ。
the sticker of searial numeber has been teared but it remains it was there! this is great.
i v been waitin 4 news from mizutani, jap agent of brompton bikes, 4 wat 2 do bout it through local bike shop but no reply...they dont care do they! so i better write it to brompton bikes uk.
シリアルナンバーのステッカーは剥がされてましたが、ちゃんと後が残る様になっています！凄い すね、さすがブロンプトン。これに就いてどうしたら良いかミズタニに聞いてもらってますが、返事はない・・・さすがはミズタ・・・。直接に連合王国（所謂 イギリス）のブロ社に直接連絡をとるか・・・。
Well, the thief has not been detained. He is a cyclist and lives in Osaka.
There is a Brooks Flyer Special S Saddle I used to own but now some one use it somewhere. That must be the thief or his friend(girl friend? coz its an 'S' for female) or some one who does not know that the Brooks Flyer Special S is mine. So you bought it somewhere or given by some one there
is possibility of mine lolz
to be con'd.
さて、まだ窃盗犯は捕まってません。彼は自転車乗りで大阪に住んでいるんでしょう。ブルックス・フライヤー・スペシャル・Sは誰かが使ってるのでしょう。この盗人かそいつのツレ(彼女かも、Sは女性用なので）か、はたまた全然無関係の人が盗難品と知らずに。中古で買った人、又は中古を貰った人、それ盗品かも（爆）
続く・・・。
The Auctioneer Says:
*translation from the top picture "u liar"
UK BROMPTON used incl. postage M6 green colour. Bought in 06 and rode it sometimes. Excellent condition for used but there are minor scratches. Now completely over hauled so you can ride it right away. the model is the highest configuration of Brompton at that time which has rear rack, dynamo lighting system & inflater with 3x2=6 speed. 3 speed model is maybe good enough like utility bikes, but it has much lighter 2 speeds on it so you are free from stresses even if you are living in steep hills area! But please remember this is an used item, be care for bidding if you are not sure from the pictures above. The item cannot meet a claim for any damages. Postage will be covered. It is the end of the year and I would like to ask bidders only who can transfer the money immediately after the knock down of 29th Dec., 30th Dec. is a dead line. Thank you.
oh well he knew well....
