Don't forget to look for parts on ebay, craigslist, etc in case they strip it.

I think I've seen this bike before. Was doing an OCW ride, spring metric I think, a couple years ago and the couple riding it were doing sweep at the end of the ride. It sure looks like the same paint job. At any rate, I'll definetly keep my eye out. People that steal bikes should have all their toe and finger nails ripped off with pliars and then be thrown in a vat of muriatic acid.

And once again, reminding people why you never leave a bike anywhere unlocked where people can easily access it. Even for a minute or two.

At rallies have seen a couple Co-Mo paint schemes like that or quite similar to it.
Either stolen by kids for joyride, or someone who knew value and will strip and/or repaint it before attempting to sell it out-of-state.
Thanx for the heads-up Mark and hope culprit(s) will be apprehended.

I have the feeling we're gonna see this tandem again. The bastards that stole it don't realize that thing is hard to hide. I'm keeping my online eyes peeled.

Make sure you set up an automated search on eBay, that'll e-mail you whenever it comes up.
Craiglist you'll have to search by hand, at least from my experience...
