DC Pirates' Pillages and Plunders

Senior Member
Okay, I'm about to make the posting I never thought I'd have to make...
My bicycle, Purple Rain, was stolen from out front of my house last evening. I put it out a few minutes before heading out and it got nabbed. I'm too heartbroken to even be upset. If it comes back, that would be excellent, if not I will make a copy of it.
Here is a picture:
It is a Panasonic road frame 53 cm in purple with a sparkle coat.
-Mavic OP rims
-Michelin ProRace 2 tires
-Formula hubs
-Shimano 600 crankset
-Surly cog
-KMC Z Chain
-Selle San Marco Rolls Saddle
I am in NW Washington DC. I'm going to check the pawn shops and call the police. Please keep your eyes open. The bike is hard to miss and completely custom, so hard to hide as well. If anyone has any information, please let me know.
I'm going to mourn for a few days and then get started on recreating it. If anyone has the same parts or a 53 cm Panasonic frame, I'd be happy in buying them from you.
Thanks.

Return of the New and Improved: 4th Epic Tri-State Margarita Relay!
ok, so it's really two states and one taxation-without-representation-colony-hoping-to-become-a-state, but we'll call it three states, for the sake of discussion...
CALLING ALL PIRATES!
The drunken (and sober, for your straightedge kids) pillaging returns!
Following the great success of our sparks-foraging, fries-eating, makers-toasting, beer-swilling, persian-agitating Farewell to Kenton pillage we are off to our next adventure on the mighty seas of pavement.
THE EPIC TRI-STATE MARGARITA RELAY!
Mark your calendars Wednesday, May 14th, 7pm, at Sherwood. (also known as the polo circle. also known as franklin square. could possibly be labelled as 14th & K NW) Leave 7:30pm
Bring your ID and some cash, as we ride for margaritas in the Free State, the Capitol Colony, and the Southern Commonwealth.
If you're under 21, that's cool, since it's more restaurants than bars anyway, so you'll get in. Really.
Running late? whisper me fore a cell phone #.
