This was a sad day for Jake, Jacopo (Dodici), Ryan, and myself. We did this event for the Fixed Gear community of Portland. I worked my ass off to get prizes for everyone because I wanted to take part in helping people who I embrace. I even used my own money to help promote this event.

Who ever has info, please contact me. We are offering a reward... NO QUESTIONS ASKED! I don't think the thieves realize who they stole from and most likely WILL get caught. So if the thieves are reading this, either drop off everything you stole at City Bikes on Ankeny & 8th (NO QUESTIONS ASKED) or contact me at patrick@pedalconsumption.com (NO QUESTIONS ASKED).
That is fucking shitty dude. Was the U-Haul locked? Where was it parked? That blows. I hope, for the sake of the cycling community, it was just a random hit and not some scumbags that scoped out your stuff. Fucking bummer.
you guys better call recyclery. they have a history of buying stolen shit.
I feel so bad you guys put a great deal of effort into last night, and that is not how it should end. Were was the U-haul parked at. As he said it could have been some one from last night, or random fuckheads. I am out and about a lot and people try to sell me shit all the time so I will do my best to look for your stuff. I was going to email DODICI and see what he would sell the the pink frame for so that sucks.
Im so sorry you guys thats fucking shitty, Ill keep an eye out.
To be honest, I really don't think this was people from the event. Most of those kids were on bikes. To steal this much shit, you would need a truck or something.
What's worse... I just had to pay $200 to U-haul for the broken window... and I got the insurance which absolutely did nothing!
good to know about u-haul. so, the insurance covered nothing?
miguelaron:good to know about u-haul. so, the insurance covered nothing?
Yeah, they said since the cargo vans are under lease, insurance or "Safemove" can't be applied. I'm glad they pitched the sale to me in the beginning... scammers!
ugh. insult to injury
Max you might be right, but I was told they didn't take every thing in the van.That is a little odd if they had the room. I feel it was more than random for that Uhaul full of BLING bikes to be broken in to.
Wes:Attention: Patrick from PedalConsumption.com and Jake from Seattle had their bikes stolen out of their u-haul tonight. Lookout for a pista concept, h+ wheels, a 3rensho frame, a Spin Tri-spoke and a h+ laced to a chub hub. This is so shitty after Patrick and Brenton gave a lot to the fixed gear community tonight. Help them out and find their stolen shit. Seriously
FYI full list of bikes/components http://www.pedalconsumption.com/files/stolen_jakes_3rensho_patricks_pista_concept.html
ill repost to my blog later.
By the way, I had no idea you guys parked at MLK and Ash.
People saw this happen, I guarantee that. Did you guys ask any of the bums or kids who hang around that area? You grease some palms and you can probably get some info.
I'm downtown most of everyday,I'll keep an eagle eye out. And if i find someone on either bike,well,you don't want to know what i want to do. If everybody can work together I'm sure we can find out who and why did this. And for the sake of the persons health,I sure hope it was random. Cause stealing from Wall-Mart or any other corporate slobs are one thing,but stealing from your friends is the lowest shit ever.
Max is NOW!!:By the way, I had no idea you guys parked at MLK and Ash.

Yeah, we asked people walking by and bikers near by... no one to our knowledge saw anything. Yesterday, Jake R, Amy W, and myself went down to the area where the break-in was to see if you could even find boxes the thieves may have ditched... but nothing.
I plan to post flyers today at various shops that deal with used. If anyone wants to help, you can download the flyer here: http://www.pedalconsumption.com/m_s/stolen_flyers.zip
I've only been living in PDX two years, so I don't know too much about the area. And Jake and Amy are back in Seattle. So feel free to print the colored flyers at Kinko's or a local copy shop and help canvas the area... especially pawn shops.
TIA!
I just bought a knife so i'm down to cut someone.
I'll repost in my blog and keep a eye out. Those bikes seem hard to miss if they rode by any of us.
crazedlist.org will let you search CL all over the country. sort of a long shot but might be worth the effort.
Thats really sucky. Sorry that happened. I will keep an eye out also for your bikes and what not. They should be pretty distinct.
Good luck.
on other topics of maybe stolen bikes:
saw a dude on a celeste 80s-early 90s bianchi roadie with celeste saddle and double celeste water bottles. he didn't look like a bike dork, so it was kind of "not bike dork" profiling. but i saw it in ne off fremont.
stolen today: 4-6ish pm. place: llyod center
rear wheel; red deep v- black/red vittoria tire.
thanks. :/
myfirstdeadpanda:stolen today: 4-6ish pm. place: llyod center

Really... A rear wheel? Damn, that messed up....
myfirstdeadpanda:
What's it laced to? Spoke color? Cog? All helpful clues. Lots of deep-V's out there.
Damn, I always worry about my bike there. Now all the more so. I'll keep an eye out. I live around there. However, a red deep V is fairly common.
The Stizzle:myfirstdeadpanda:

its a pretty generic set up. Gt bmx hub laced 3x with silver spokes/nips with a 16. its a machined red deep v.
teen idol: yeah, i know. see them around. but theirs arent as bright red or new as mine. but thanks for keeping a look out for it.
much appreciated.

I'll get you some of the flyers.
Cheers
p.s. I am around between 9-6
i was tempted to steal a bike the other day, but it was just to prove a point. some idiot had two u-locks on his costco full-suspension mountain bike; one on each wheel. each quick-release wheel. crap. so i took the frame and picked it up and turned it around.
I would've just took the frame off of the wheels and just left it there next to them. or better yet just threw the bike in the trash.
i'll bet he tried to ride it before he noticed it was all fucked up
C & P'd into correct thread for ArielD by me because I am a fucking stand up guy:
ArielD:my bike was stolen about one hour ago, around 1:30PM on friday august 28th from where it was locked up in the south park blocks. it's a metallic dark blue motobecane 52cm track frame, single speed. i recently re-taped to the bars with metallic blue fizik tape and it had metal foot cages with blue leather straps. also there was somewhat of a dent in the middle of the tob tube. if you have any information or if you see it around anywhere, please let me know, as this was my only means of transportation. 541.513.1286
my road bike was stolen from my porch a couple nights ago.
it's a giant carbon tubed cadex. don't remember the exact measurements but I'd say 50cm cause it was just a bit too big.
shimano 105 group with the exception of one of the derailleurs being suntour.
mavic open pros.
almost everyone knows what it looks like but if you don't
this isn't mine but looks the same, minus the pedals.

Jenn, what was it doing on your porch in the 1st place?
Drunk roommate.
Jennx:Drunk roommate.
fucking roomates. I'm living alone next time.
BOLO: White Cannondale Caad bike with red lettering. And I mean WHITE, like bright white. If you see it, message me.
fuck man, who/where/how are all these thefts happening?
Max is NOW!!:fuck man, who/where/how are all these thefts happening?
makes me super nervous, and plus people have been gettin their rear wheel jacked - ones that are just average.
i usually lock the back wheel through/with the frame if it's going to sit there a while
Sucks that I have to carry my large u lock most of the time instead of my mini.
Get krypto cables.
Max is NOW!!:Get krypto cables.
got one, just for looks tho
SenorMiles:BOLO: White Cannondale Caad bike with red lettering. And I mean WHITE, like bright white. If you see it, message me.
saw a white cdale, red letters going west on NW 10th... not much help. did the bike have cosmic carbones, or some other real deep rim with yellow lettering?
