Road Bike

U87U13668

51cm

white/tan
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
I bought this bike only four months ago, so it was nearly new with some small scratches on the frame. I replaced the saddle with a Terry Butterfly black leather saddle, added a bell, a lock bracket, and some blue handlebar tape on the down tube to protect the frame when locking. It's the front bike in the photo (larger size available at http://www.flickr.com/photos/interrobang/3764802634/)

Incident Description:
I think my lock was cut and removed along with the bike, because there was no apparent damage to the railing I locked it on. It was on my porch/fire escape on the 2nd floor, which is not visible from the alley or the street due to the layout of the building.
