It's crazy to hear reports like "bike was sold for $27 to guy in a DirectTV van" or "bike was spotted; saw people trying to saw ulock off of it" etc. The cops have been surprisingly helpful because we've been able to get reliable sightings. Apparently as of this morning we now have an address, cops have been called, not sure what's going to happen next. The guy it was stolen from is a sweetheart; I really hope he gets his bike back.
PS if anyone in chicago sees a grey bianchi pista with pink deep v's, hubs, saddle, and grips, let me know.
misskaz, someone on ChiFG posted about some dude trying to trade him some pink deep V's to pink Phil's for an Eighth Inch frame, and I remembered reading this post. Did your buddy have that wheelset (I doubt many people have that wheelset...)? Any details you want me to ask for?
