Sorry for the poor photo. I didn't want to linger too long. Locked up across 34th street from the Empire State building, the place is crawling with tourists.
I think it's a mid 80's Cannondale, but it's been through some hard times.

Isn’t this the same way “Requiem for a Dream” ended?

- No thanks, I like my smile now.
- This was locked to something at one point, but in all cases wouldn't it be better to remove the lock instead of the top tube?

But I'm amazed that the bike is still ridable this way.

I agree, in that i can't think of any reason to chop the tube this way other than to steal a locked bike; and aluminum is easier to cut than kryptonite. But then why not cut off the whole top tube, rather than just a short section?
But I'm amazed that the bike is still ridable this way.

We have all sorts of under-the-freeway chop shops and the bike supply seems endless. It's a wonder anybody around here tries using a public rack at all.

This Mikado 3-sp was observed in captivity at a church rummage sale. Not my size and no price, but cool looking. I initially thought is was a Miyata.

- man, that looks like a '60ies Cinelli!
- ja ja
German guy rode from Stuttgart to the Spanish coast. Big panniers but he travelled light, no more than 15 pounds of stuff I think.

What's that?!
No interest in a Sears Steyr "with famous Shimano gears" ( - Alan Ludden)
Mr. Roebuck appears to have had a good deal of use - note the "swimmer's shoulders" exhibited by his bar...
The Mikado bears little resemblance to the Chevrolet pickup truck of the same name

He was wearing cheap sneakers, one tough German. Was talking about restoring the bike though, "maybe next year".

Saw this on Swing's website - hundred-year-old coffee roasters by the White House. I think the one on the right is a Rivendell, what's the bike on the left?

This one's probably going to die in the streets here. Never heard of a "Del Puppo" brand, almost sounds like a joke for a French bike, but I found some pics online and this: one man operation, made to measure bikes, based in Sainte Florine in the vicinity of Clermond Ferrond, existed for 31 years, folded in 2009.
