Stolen Tall Bike
My tall-bike was stolen (or possibly removed byt he city). If you see it please call 224-628-3789 and let me know where you saw it and, if possible, put a lock on it. It has full fenders, full length seat stays and is much nicer then your average tall-bike making it easily identifiable as mine. Rear wheel a functional SA 3-spd hub laced to a CR18 rim in the back.
I know a lot of people consider tall bikes junk but this is my primary bike and I miss it greatly.
As much as I love the rest of the bike I really want that damn wheel back!

Looks like it is gone forever; a friend called to say they say it in a scrap truck about two days ago...
Anyone have a couple of nice British bikes I can cut up?

Doug, it is not British, but I have a frame I would like to donate to you and offer you any help I can in the making of your next double-decker.
Cheers - Lee

Doug's a pretty sharp cookie.
I'm guessing there's some sort of strategizing behind not giving any more info than what's here and not listing it on the stolen bike registry.

Actually I did list it on the stolen bike registry...
It was at Leavitt and Augusta but as I said above it's all a moot point because it was spotted in a scrap truck so it's a pretty likely it is gone forever.

Dug:
My building is in the process of weeding out from our bike room a number of bikes that appear abandoned. (I'm in charge of handling this.) I haven't paid much attention to the actual frames and components, but would be more than willing to provide you a list of the bikes we will be weeding out. I'd give you first dibs on anything.
Otherwise, we donate everything to Working Bikes.
Sorry about the loss.

That's a damn shame Doug. Even more infuriating that your ride was scrapped, or stolen for scrap.
