insult to injury Raleighdon's custom bike stolen

**Biciclista** · 07-13-2012, 02:20 PM

unbelievably, last night we heard some noises out back and today I discovered his beautiful Davidson custom bike was stolen from our garage. Seattle folks, Portland folks, this is a bike with a whole lot of chrome, a Sella An atomica saddle, and so so much more..
We are heartsick over this one.

oh Mimi- I'm SO sorry. I'm heartsick about this FOR you!

Hope you get it back!!

Oh Mimi, that is unfathomable. I hope Katrina is returned to you and Donald soon. There will be a lot of people keeping their eyes peeled, scouring Craigslist and all, of that I am sure.

Mimi, I hope you don't mind but this is from FB, another photo of the bike. We're riding tonight after work and this weekend. We will keep our eye peeled.

Hope you find it! It is very distinctive - it will be hard for someone to get rid of without someone else recognizing it!

I just can't believe that it was stolen. What a crazy world

Just sent this to Cascade Bicycle works to be on the lookout.

That's insane.

Everytime this thread pops up in "New Posts" I think, "Oh good, the bike has come home!"

I'd like to think that one of Donald's well-meaning friends appropriated the bike to tune it up, and get it all clean and nice for him to use as soon as he recovered. Now the current possessor of the bike is probably filled with remorse because he didn't get it done in time, and he's too embarassed to return it.

Sadly I don't think that's the case.

Now every black/red lugged steel bike I see here causes a gasp and a 2nd look. I think we had momentum for a coordinated routine of search especially with the good folks on bike journal.

Unless that's going on separately I think the grief and feeling of loss of Don took the wind out of the sails at least for a bit. I for one feel whoever has Katrina she's not there. Bikes have a soul and hers is riding with Don.

So maybe the crook is lying low for a while with the bike and thinks people have forgotten and will take it out in a while ... but no. We will never forget Don. I for one will be looking.

Karma's a b*tch so I expect to find the thief by the side of the road or doored with Katrina nearby and unharmed.

I was at R & E bikes talking to Smiley the other day; my son is thinking of replacing Katrina with a Rodriguez. I asked Smiley what they do when someone rolls in with a Davidson like that for sale. He said "they never do - they come in with really good components for sale and throw away the frame." If that's true, for real, Katrina is dead too. Gone with Donald.

I'm sorry, Mimi.
