Locked in the street
 

Everytime I walk by a locked bike in the street, I tend to do a quick scan to see what the bike is. Most of the time is nothing worth of mentioning, i have been seeing this ride around my block for an entire week. I feel the need to share. http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=453244

It always amazes me how can some one just leave it in the street with a 10 dollar lock.

Bet you won't be seeing it much longer! It's overdue to go bye-bye.

Nah, it'll probably stay there doesn't look that appealing with the frame and crank getting messed up by scratching the floor. Bike thieves are mostly opportunists, part of this comes with being able to ride away with the damn thing off into the distance. Looks rather suspect and harder to disappear from the scene of the crime carrying a frame around.

As of this morning....http://bikeforums.net/attachment.php...hmentid=453652

entire front end missing, along with the MTB wheels

so they stole the fork, bars, shifters ....and front deraileur but left the cranks, rear deraileur and brake. Might as well strip the whole thing so they could sell the complete group!

Yet the $10 u-lock lock remains...

hahah I just noticed this is in NYC. Since that's the case the bikes were probably already stolen to begin with. I love NYC, but wow the thieves in that city sure are brazen. I had a buddy take off his shoes so he can change his socks after playing basket ball and he turned his head for about 10 seconds and some 8 year old kids ran by and stole them!!

My guess is the bike was stolen in the first place. It is hard for me to imagine someone who knows the value of a Seven frame sitting around like that. What a shame.

There's places where people lock their bikes and they still get stolen? I'm so glad to be a hill-billy from CO, Rocky Mountain High, Baby!

Yeah, I guess we didn't quite make it into the Age of Aquarius.

This is how the story ends
(I think all of us knew the ending)
