I met the guy, in the Tacoma/Sellwood area in Portland. No, not the thief, the bike owner. A most interesting story. Like many, those couple of weeks while in the hands of the thief, the bike saw a lot of wear.
It may well be that these high profile bikes are really hot potatoes for the thieves to hold onto. They're much better off just snagging a dozen Walmart bikes. Plus, it generally isn't a felony to snag a Walmart bike.
