It was basically a brand new bike and was custom made for my mom so had a lot of nice parts and stuff like that on it, but she gave it to my girlfriend to ride now that we're in the city. Has all black frame and reminded me of a stealth jet when it comes to bikes. Also had the odometer/speedometer thing attached to the front fork and a carrying case for things attached under the seat.

Incident Description:
We had been in the taste of Chicago for about an hour. We had both locked are bikes, in the bike safety zone at the end entrance of millenium park, came back and her bike was missing (including the bike lock) which was locked right next to mine; however mine was still there. Probably due to the value of her bike or something like that, however it was a gift from my mother to her and really hurt her. Just trying to make things right and hoping that it turns up somewhere. I am beginning to grow suspicious if it was a worker who may have stolen it that works at the bike rental place right in front of the bike safety lock up zone (which proves to be not so safe after all).
