Blue (silver spray paint "Ground Up" stencil on downtube)
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
This is a one of a kind bike, a trials bike built by Ground Up Designs (steel frame builder out of Colorado Springs). It has no seat post, nor seat. Only one, very small chain ring (18 tooth) with a bashring, a chris king headset, chris king rear hub, the rims have holes drilled in between the spokes, it's a single speed with horizontal drop outs. It's basically a strange looking mountain bike with no seat and a rigid fork (silver).
My blue Giordana fixie was also stolen, although I'm much more worried about getting this trials bike back since it's so unique.

Incident Description:
In the haste of moving I locked my trials bike and fixie to a bike rack outside the logan square blue line stop, where I assumed the high traffic and video cameras would deter bike thieves. Distracted by moving and school, I left my bikes locked there for almost a week, which was a huge mistake. When I returned, both bikes and the lock were gone.
