He was very frustrated and beginning to think there was some message behind all his bad luck. He is a fast rider, and he's really enjoys climbing. I constantly have to remind myself that I can't judge my abilities by his or I just get frustrated.

In response to slinkedog, it's scratched up and there is some rust on the nuts on the handlebar stem, so it appears that it was left out in our late-season rains. As for the new bike, our insurance company has dropped a check in the mail for the replacement of the stolen bike, from the experience of other riders in our local club, it sounds as if the insurance company now owns the recovered bike. In 90% of these cases, the insurer sold the bike back to the original owner at a depreciated cost (depreciated due to damage, based on a LBS estimate) so he may end up with both bikes.
