Ahh! Just back from a session of bouldering and scaring baddies.

Indeedly, I got it back tonight. I was on my way to the Lactic Factory when I spied a kid on blue bike with Fox forks, one gear - and gosh! two stems. Only 2 blocks from my house too.
I pulled him over, and the poor dude very nearly wet himself. I bought his 3rd story - about having paid $50 to some dodgy looking guy for it. I made him sweat, but I couldn't think of what else I should do - save call the cops there and then. Perhaps I should've. Who knows these things?

Anyway, whoever resprayed it did a quick, though not too bad job. I'll think about whether to bother fixing it. They were able to get the wierd rear disc mount off, disassemble the bike, spray it well - but then put it back together exactly as it used to be. Stupid.

Thanks to everyone who was keeping an eye out, and to all the emails of commiseration that I received. It was really sweet to know so many folk cared.
Give'us a call if you wanna go riding.
