Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Road Bike
Serial No.:
not known
Size:
49 cm
Color:
black
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
Old steel Bridgestone 3900, beloved bike I used to race on. Clearest identifying (non-changeable) features are the 1980s classic lugged frame, now painted a solid black, and Dura-Ace cranks and Dura-Ace brakes, unchanged since the bike was bought. When stolen had silver handlebar tape, mismatched (white/black) bar end caps, new clipless Time pedals. The saddle is I think a Serfas, somewhat worn on the sides. Ultegra rear derailleur; the front derailleur still Dura-Ace. New wheels from last year: black rims, 36 ? spokes, tires with blue edge. Things that might change: blue seat pack, two plastic water bottle cages (one broken), pump peg on top tube, mount for handlebar light.

Other situation, please describe below.
How long was the bike locked in this location?:
1.5 hours
Incident Description:
Bike was locked with only a latte lock (thin combo lock, not the safest) to a bike rack in the Harper Quadrangle at the University of Chicago just for the duration of a class, 1:30-3 PM on a Tuesday. Heavily trafficked area, far from a street, in the heart of campus - did not seem like a high-theft-likelihood location. Both bike and lock gone at end of class.
