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.

This bums me out when a personally invested machine gets ripped. Sorry.

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.

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.

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.
