Bought this womens' LeMond road bike in 2006. It is mostly silver with the LeMond logo in a wintery blue color. It has Bontrager wheels and a small pack under the seat. I am 5'1" and so it is as petite a model (though I can't remember exact dimensions) as you can find. Excellent condition. (Image is one I found on-line...not exact bike but very similar in model/color.)

Incident Description: 
I had gone to see a movie at Music Box Theater at 7:30 p.m. When I came out at 9ish, the bike was still there. We decided to get a drink across the street. Though it was night, it was Saturday and people were walking around and businesses open. When we came back at 10:20, the bike was gone without a trace. It must've been someone who was quick and discreet to get through my cable lock. Very sad not to have my LeMond!
