We reconciled our differences. I took off the Rando and I got flexible enough to comfortably ride the drop and suddenly the bike was a great bit of fun. Snappier handling, no flex when compared to the Jamis, it looked really sexy too.

as for the bike being stolen? It was locked to itself, behind a few bikes in someones yard at a party. From what I was told it sounds like some ghetto kid from the neighborhood walked in, picked it up and walked away with U-lock still attached. No one thought to say anything.
