"I was looking at bike frames on Ebay tonight and I saw a Trek bike and thought of you! It had that crazy green to purple paintjob- and I remembered that's what yours had. But it's in, like Ohio, so I don't think it's yours."

thanks for checking kimba!

hmmmm, just checked E-bay and don't see it, maybe it's sold already? I looked in "bike frames" and "complete bikes"

Online auctions were the first thing I checked. I saw one from my hometown, same size, color, different kit, but aluminum not steel.....

One of my workout buddies, a Fremont cop also my LBS say it was likely sold at a local flea market for the going rate for drugs.

But crooks do move bikes around, especially good ones. If they have half a brain they swap parts so likely if I did see my bike the Ultegra power train would be on ANOTHER bike and the kit would be unrecognizable.

A recent article in Cycle California says one reason folks don't get bikes back is that if you register your bike localy (you can do it for free at local fire departments) when stolen bikes are found the police check that registry but if you're in Paris TX and your bike winds up in Venice CA .... that's why the national bike registry is a good idea as well.

If you love your bikes, lock them up, even in your home. Wouldn't it be funny if they had "lowjack" for bikes? I'm picturing riding around with a little GPS reciever "beep, beep, beeeeeep"

"How did that ever come out? Did you ever find it or find some leads? Just wondering..."

Thanks for asking. I'm going forward with getting a new bike probably one from .....
