What about putting a self notification in ebay so you'll get email from ebay if something with a similar description shows up?Originally Posted by Kimmyt

thanks all; I put an add on Cragislist for Albuquerque and Phoenix, since I heard some stolen bikes are marketed in Phoenix as well.
It is a white aluminum frame, carbon fork and seat stays, Masi Gran Corsa. It has Power Cranks on it; which is the most distinctive feature. Look KEO pedals, Aspide Glamour seat, frame pump, cateye computer, seat bag w/blinky light. Picture of me on it and a company photo (not sure if this worked):Laura

That looks like a very nice bike. I don't think that one will end up in Mexico. The roads aren't so smooth there and not roadie friendly. (Gross over generalization.)
Craigslist is a good place to look. But there are a too many places to sell stolen bikes. Flea markets, etc.
I hope your insurance will cover your loss. Having things stolen just sucks and makes you feel bad.

That reminds me.......AFLAC was quick to pay for damage to a bicycle according to an insured. I'm really thinking about getting AFLAC since I have a zippy bike. Originally Posted by sarahkonamojo

Commuter bikes for Colorado depends on your commute and if you plan to ride in the winter.
Hope Colorado treats you well.

I agree with Sarah, the type of bike you will need depends on your commute. I ride my road bike on the trails (Bear Creek, Platte, Clear Creek, etc) around here with no issues and no special tires. Originally Posted by sarahkonamojo

In late summer and early fall you will have to watch out for goat heads. Check your tires if you go through weedy or freshly mowed areas.
