"Simple; make and model of my ol' bike..."

"Did you ever find it- or get it back??"

nope, if you see it being ridden with the handlebars turned upside down by some drug addled dope dealer who paid $10.00 for it at the flea market in the East Bay please stick your frame pump in their spokes as you breeze by ;-)

to all those following the saga of my new bike (although this should be in another topic)

* the Mondonico frame arrived at my LBS on Friday-it's beeeeeaauuuutiful! Subtle lavendar metalic
* I go to the shop tonight to pick shiny stuff to be put on it
* In the meantime I've been riding a loaner from the shop, a red Della Santa which I've enjoyed.
