Sorry if this is the wrong place.

My bike was stolen from my condo's locked storage area around the weekend of 13th of July. A lot of bikes were vandalized and parts stolen. Condo located in Oakland, broadway terrace and broadway.

Mine is a 2006, specialized allez triple. Red/White, 54 cm. Bought from the pedelar in north bay and has their sticker on it as well. It should have the kateye on it as well.

I am going to look at various flea markets and want to know, where do i find the serial number on the physical bike?

I'm attaching a picture of the bike.

if you do find it, please respond :)

Wow, that really sucks. Good luck on your search! Also, make sure to let the local PD's know about it.

Keep an eye on Craigslist, too.

That's a bummer - good luck!

Don't know specifically where they're on Specialized bikes, but many bikes have the S/N on the bottom of the bottom bracket. Some may have it on the headtube.

On my 2007 Allez elite (so I'm guessing it's the same) it's on the bottom of the bottom bracket (on the frame obviously).

Thanks..

I went to the flea markets at the coliseum and Laney college. Didn't see my bike, but I did see some other good bikes. A lot of Bianchi's, Scotts, Fuji, Specialized, etc..

I pity some of the original owners as many of those bikes looked as good as new :(

If I catch him I'll punch him in the head for you!

That's heartbreaking.. how f..ing immoral!

If I had lost my Langster I'd be suicidal...:mad:

try to find your receipt...it may have the serial on it.

file a police report...and if you ever see it again, at least you can challenge it.
