Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
My bike was stolen last night between 3 and 6am on Damen and Evergreen and it may be up for sale soon! It's a blackberry colored Windsor clockwork (looks black but not quite, has some muddled purple tone to it), ~54cm, with cut down pursuit bars, blue cork tape only on the left side, bare silver bar on the right. My saddle has a sticker on that says "Je suis une MERDE." Alex Rims wheel in the front and a Sun Rims CR-18 for the back wheel, an SKS fender with an orange strap. Black JAMIS 110mm stem, +/-10 degrees, set to -10. TWO black zip ties securing that fender, one wrapped around the orange strap and another vertically to keep the fender's height fixed. It has an Origin 8 Classique rack, so this may be an attractive purchase for any messenger and could be up on the market soon.

Incident Description:
I was actually riding/had the bike on hand when it was stolen about two blocks from my place at Evergreen and Damen. I came to on the grass next to the road when a runner woke me up. I had been drinking/chatting with friends but really did not have that much. My body/lock/backpack show no evidence of a crash, but I have some pain in my forehead and I'm pretty out of it at the moment. I think I may have been hit in the head but I had expensive camera gear in my backpack which was leaned up against a gate and was not stolen or tampered with from what I can see. My last memory is riding down Milwaukee Avenue from Avondale, where my buddy lives.
