Chicago Stolen Bike Registry

The Milano is designed to be a city commuter bike and has a number of distinct features: a gently curved top tube, a Shimano internal 8-speed hub, 26" wheels, fenders front and rear, chain guard. I've added more items to make this really a one-of-a-kind: wider than usual flared Nitto Albatross handlebars taped end to end in black, Alias 15 watt front light w/frame mounted battery, mirror on left end of handlebar, bell on right end of handlebar, Specialized split seat w/red blinker on seat post, a Jandd black rear rack. To make things far worse, I also had two Jandd packs clipped to this rack: an empty-and-collapsed-shut black "grocery bag" pannier, and a black "commuter" pannier - brief case style w/3 zippered compartments. This second bag was full of my stuff from the day: a Motorola flip cell phone, Dell Axim PDA, wallet w/the usual, 6 folders chock full of personal papers, clothes. A few other unique features are two stickers on seat tube: one is "Cafe Racer" and another "Purchased at On the Route Bikes".

Older, late 1990s, light grey tires (not black)

This was a full suspension Triax PK7. It was stolen without the seat. The cables for the front shifter and the rear brake were too long, so I cut them and soldered the ends to prevent fraying.

Great condition, JONES tires, silver speedometer, waterbottle rack, Schwinn tail light, Coil Masterlock connected to frame, and a yellow Village Cycle sticker.... Was taken without the seat on it.

Rather new bike, Rock Shox Judy TT front suspension, caged pedals were a little beat up, but otherwise it was a stock bike in very good condition.

just gave it a tune up, new seat, handlebar grips, new brake cable, tires are original, beige tire rims - a very distinguishing feature! this bike is 14 years old.

2006 new bike. The bike is a flat black with bronze colored decals. It has a rear rack (black) and a chrome basket on the right side of the rear tire. The bike has a bronze colored water bottle carrier. The chrome logo located on the front of the head tube is missing. Instead there is a recessed area where the logo was located.

Good condition generally, but the rear brake sticks a little on the left, there is one tire valve cap missing, the covering of one of the brake lines along the top of the frame is coming off a little, and the seat is showing a little wearing on the sides. Also, there may be a sticker indicating that it was from the Traverse City Bike Shop.

rusty has yellow letters on the frame

Excellent condition. Metallic silver paint with red lettering and trim. 27" wheels. 4.5" black vertical handlebar extension. Serfa seat. Front tire had old school gum sidewalls, the rear was a black Bontrager slick. The left side adjustment barrel for the brake, located at the brake handles, is broken--when you turn it nothing happens and it will pull off because it's not connected.

Excellent condition. A few scratches on the left side on the frame near the rear wheel. The bike had a computer, a gel seat, new headset (Specialized). Michelin slick tires.

I received the bike about six weeks ago, and it was in new condition. There are scratches on the paint on the frame near the handlebar post from locking the bike to bike racks. It has a bell, kickstand, and mountings for head- and tail-lights, as well as a bottle rack on the frame. The seat is stock with a shock-absorber post. It is registered in the City of Evanston with sticker #B008267. The sticker is on the left side of the frame on the vertical post just above the crankshaft.

Entirely custom built mountain bike with Hugi hubs (very loud backpedal) rims that say "Smokey Mountain Wheels" in large red letters, sparkel green SDG seat, Raceface cranks, headset and bottom bracket, Syncros seat post and stem, time clipless pedals, green salsa skewers. Unmistakably one of a kind.

Brand new, Black and Green, two back pegs black. Deep scratch on Crank and front handle Bar.

Women's frame. Perfect, only used twice. Had a small gray bag attached to the handlebars.

black aluminum frame. make and model etched in silver. black and silver saddle. carbon fork. velomax curcuit wheelset. black and white tires. black bartape w/ white stitching. front and rear lights. bruised and beautiful bike.

aftermarket DuoTrack front shocks, black aluminum bar ends, somewhat scraped up, especially where one of the sides meets the handle bar from a spill onto blacktop. black vetta c-15 cyclometer on right side of handle bars... not currently working. black magnetic pickup from cyclometer mounted on right fork. two zipties were put together (you can see the two clips) to do this because the zip ties that I had at the time were not long enough. The handlebar has small rust dots on the top. This was also when grip shifts were first comming out so the handle bar grips are the origional "grip shift" grips which are badly worn. There is a lizzard skin protector around where the fork meets the frame. on the top frame tube towards the side of the handle bars there are still visible marks from where a bike pump clip was attatched to the bike. about 2-3" from the seat post there is a nasty 3/4" long scratch on the top tubes left side as you are riding it. The tires are the origional big kahuna tires, and are a bit dry rotted and worn. the front tire has a brand new tube(less than a week old). both tubes are shrader valves. The front brake works great, but the back break is in bad need of adjustment... but it still works slightly.... There is a black water bottle holder mounted on the bottom bar of the frame and there should be a sticker from the "bycicle place" in gaithersburg, MD where it was origionally purchased. The plastic pedals have plastic toe clips. The left toe clip is broken off at the pedal. The straps that are used to tighten the clips are badly frayed and the metal buckles for the straps are badly rusted. The little rubber things that keep the 3 brake cables from bouncing on to the top bar of the frame are very yellow with age. The bike was also very dirty/dusty from sitting in my garage in MD for a very long time until I moved to chicago (I have been here 5 weeks). The bike is about 10 years old, I bought it when I was in middle school..... I thought that the origional blue fork faded to purple at the back of the bike looked really cool back then. That's pretty much my junky bike, but it's my junk and I'd like it back.... I don't know the serial number because back home in MD I lived in the country and we didn't even lock our back door, much less record a serial number off of a bike for fear of someone stealing it.....I wish I had a picture...... Trek may have the serial on file because I sent in the registration card and I was acutally notified about a recall on my front crank... but that was also about 7 or so years ago.
