So I have an update with a happy ending. I watched the bike sit in the snow for several months getting more and more frustrated. I posted flyers tryin to contact the owner and even asked random people at the dorm if they knew the owner with no luck. I mentally gave up on the bike until about two weeks ago when I decided to pursue the matter further. I contacted the security office and was told that they would soon be cutting all of the bikes off the racks to send to the police auction. I talked to the head of the department and explained who I was and why I was so frustrated about this bike. Given the circumstance he gave me permission to cut the lock and take the bike. End result is a beautiful, slightly worse for the wear, 1992 bridgestone RB-1 sitting in my garage right now. Only thing is that it doesn't come close to fitting me. It's around a 51, I have yet to measure it, and I'm 6'3 so I'm not really sure what to do about it. I'll try to take some pics to post up this weekend when I have more time.
