First of all, thanks for your kind wishes
I had a daydream today, that I somehow made a mistake in building, and as the f$$ker is biking down the hill next to my house, the front wheel comes off and over the top he goes, and POW! breaks a collar-bone. I know, I know, sick. But I was *pissed*.
> if these bikes are as rare there as they are here, the cops will notice.
These things are rare, but not super rare. I didn't write down the serial number! ARGH! Actually, I wrote it down, but I lost the paper. ARGH!!!!
> was it left outside?
Yes, on my front porch. But, it has a 7' high fence around it, so you can't easily see it's there. Basically this means, someone saw me riding it into my porch, and stole it. I was asleep, roughly 6' away from my bike, and it got stolen. Thing is, there are TONS of really nice, >$2K mountain bikes all over the place in front porches all over my condo complex.
Ok, I made two mistakes: (1) I didn't write down the serial #!! (2) I didn't lock the bike on my porch. (2) didn't seem like a big deal at the time, but (1) come on? How could I be so stupid
beast - you mentioned you visit some sites, any chance you could tell me what these are?
Sigh, like most people here, one of the reasons i bought this thing was so that I could get around town on the cheap (I'm a grad student.) I saved up for a couple of months to get this thing, and i can't really afford a replacement, esp 1 week after getting it running!!
Ok, enough sob-story, it's just i know a lot of you are in the same boat, so at least you understand
Take care guys, lock your bike, write your serial # down.
