  1. Hi all,

    my bicycle was stolen from the GLC (Graduate Living Center, 10th street,
    Georgia Tech, Atlanta) front bike rack.
    This was on Friday, July 22nd, between 7:30pm and 9:45pm.
    It is a Trek 4900, black/blue.

    Picture of this beautiful bike:

    If you have seen anything suspicious, or if you see someone riding this
    not very common bicycle, or if someone wants to sell you the bike,
    please help me and call

    678-200-8209 or email [email hidden] or [email hidden]

    For any hint that results in the capturing of the thief I will be glad
    to pay $100 of reward.

    Dominik.

    That's exactly what happened to my friends steel framed bike, but the police
    miraculously recovered it.
    The person who stole the bike painted it red to disguise the frame, but the
    old campagnolo nuovo record components and vintage brooks saddle was a dead
    giveaway. He decided not to repaint it and left it the ugly spray-can
    red...I guess that color has paid off because it was never stolen again, but
    I can also assure he keeps a closer eye on the bike now.

  14. unfortunately, the bike is just as is when you get it from the retailer,
    except for a u-lock holder which replaced the bottle holder. some
    scratches and cracks at the rear sides of the saddle, and some paint
    chipped off on the left side of the topmost bar of the frame which is
    also not very obvious.
