Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Folding / Compact Bike
Serial No.:
BS6102
Size:
small when folded, slim when riding
Color:
green
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
The bike is at least 7 years old. There is some wear on the frame but it is solid. There is a weathered Brompton sticker on the tube between your legs. It has a new rubber stopper for folding and a light clamp over duct tape on the handlebar. Since it is a Brompton I highly doubt the thief will be competent in folding it. The bike is in excellent shape and never breaks. It is definitely a different looking bike.

I suspect the pickup trucks that regularly scour the backstreets for trash they can cash, but I have no evidence.
