    so my buddy zak got his front wheel stolen yesterday, it's a specialized carbon tri-spoke. here's what he said about it:

    "someone stole my silly carbon tri-spoke front wheel from the front of rotture tonight.
    its got a big resin patch on the front side of one of the spokes. no stickers, clincher, aluminum rim
    if you see it, grab it and gimme a call. ill buy you mucho beers.
    zak
    724.678.1295"

    IF YOU GUYS COULD KEEP AN EYE OUT FOR IT THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! THAAAANKKKKSSS

  1.  

    I'll keep an eye out. Does this Zak make movies? I used to have a film teacher named Zak...

  2.

    I think in the thread titled "where not to lock your bike up," in front of roturre was mentioned more than once on the list. I was there last night too, but didn't see any carbon specialized rims. Oh well, that sucks. Was the wheel locked to anything or just unbolted?

  3.  

    aw :( poor Zak has the worst fucking luck.

  4.  

    Same thing happened to me at Goodwill on grand, except it was a cheapie wheel.
    Did he call City Bikes and let them know?
    I'll check recyclery on my way down tonight.

    I saw zak's tri-spoke last night, but that was pretty early in the evening. The only people I saw hanging around that bike pile, were people that should be.

  5.  

    that is lame. i am riding down there on sunday it does suck when you have to be nervous the whole time at a show that outside your bike or parts might be going home with someone else.

  6.  

    that sucks...

    Nah, it's a 700c. Really glossy looking one, not HED more like a late 90's Specialized. No logos.

  7.  

    It's got a repair spot on it, like a big glob of glue. That would be a good way to ID it.

    that's a good idea, using this thread, but over time it'll get really messy with the chit chat. it could work. sf has a separate forum, that seems to work for them.

    I think the city of portland stole my girlfriend's bike tonight... Admittedly it was not the smartest thing to do to lock it up to a mobile fence put up for the parade but my friend tells me a humungo truck took my girlfriend's ride along with around 12 others on these, now come to find out, temporary fences that were set up close to Scooters on 13th and SW Washington. Damn son... Luckily have the serial number and a good description. Fuck!!! I was flipping out when i left the bar this evening and since cooled down a bit.

    My friend posted something about this bike being stolen.
    This is all the info I have..
    there is a picture of it in my photos. back before it had cruiser bars and stickers.

    if anyone from portland reads this...be on the look out for a mint green bike with cruiser bars cork grips(broken) it has stickers on it but they might be taken off. its a surly long haul trucker but there are no decals on it. it has 26 inch wheels.
    has a rear rack and silver fenders with leather mud flaps. brooks b-17 saddle.

    I love that bike its been across america with me. so hopefully with your help I can get it back.

    that is the girl's myspace, if you see it, and she's not on it. Clothesline them, and hit her up.

    I mean, you could cut it down and re-thread it, but not worth the $ IMO.

    so last night i saw a bum rocking a pista outside the satyricon last night, it had orange-ish bar tape, set up with a freewheel, both front and rear brakes on it. looked to be around a 54cm.

    anyone know of anyone missing one.
