thanks. For some reason I've been riding a bike (no car) for 5 years but since I built up my fixed gear people comment on it and recongize me as a bike rider. Seems silly considering I've done most of my riding on a hybrid or mtb but I've really enjoyed building a bike that I can ride. Hope to find it before (or whether) it get's stripped of parts. Thankfully I have another bike to ride for transport and I'm not too attached to possesions. At the same time, I didn't lock it up and I realize that I ****ed up. I've read plenty of threads about the best lock. Visited NYC for two weeks and saw that everyone from the fixed gear messenger to the bootleg fast food delivery guy had a thick chain lock and thought it was ridiculous. Now I realize that, as Nick Cave says, "people just ain't no good". Not really. Still love humanity.
