It's beyond me how anyone could do something so f-ing stupid. . . but if it is true, I would go there with my chain and my U-Lock for some oh so sweet revenge.

Nice! It sounds like something out of the video game "Manhunt". Well, except it's like with bikes & there isn't any chopping off of the heads & the suffocation with plastic bags...damn that game is good!

No, I think it must have been a complete joke. He said something like "I stole these bikes after I knocked the morons off of them during one of those big downtown bike rides when they clog the streets." Something lame like that. I'm sure it was a hoax.

If he doesn't ship, could one of you Chicago folks go pick me up a 53cm Pista?

I'll send you a money order for the bike and enough to cover shipping.
