It did have a serial # ,and I did take it to "The Bike Gallery" in Portland where they sent it to all the other shops. I feel sick in my stomach . I had it perfect for me. Who ever stole it left the cut lock ,and bungee cord on my Jeep tire. I know Ill never see it again. It was my first bike ,but it is "just a thing ,and life goes on. I'm sure Ill have lots of new adventures on my new Trek 2.1 when I get it. I just need to get over it ,and I cant. ; ((((( The police also have the Serial #. They told me at least 20-50 bikes a day get stolen.
