FWIW
I'm guessing you were stationed here or lived here before? No I don't know anyone in the base anymore. but I'll check out the houseing.
I went to the pawn shop and found nothing I was hopeing for the diamond in the ruff senerio, but nope. The guy was really helpful and took my name and number in case something comes in. He said just last week he sold a specialized rock hopper for about $200 USD. So there is hope. He has a chain of Money Man pawn shops in the Charleston area and got on the phone and checked all of the one he could think of with alot of bikes. I also found out that there are a Jamis and Kona dealers in my area too. So my weekend is going to be fun.
