I'm 90% sure I sold you (or somebody) that bike this past fall sorry to see it meet such a fate. I commuted on it for a while and it treated me well but was a little large for me so I had to move it to a new home.
I can't seem to find a picture of it but I remember thinking it might be too much to have 4 different shades of brown on the same bike when I was taping the bars
