Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Hybrid Bike
Size:
"Jumbo" Frame
Color:
Charcoal/Black
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
My Q5 had a ton of miles on it but had been kept up very well.
-Frame - lots of nicks and scratches (from the lock) especially on the front of the top tube near the stem.
-Aftermarket 3-pin PitLock style bolts on Seatpost, front wheel and rear wheel.
-Handlebars - I kept the stock Q3 or Q4 bars but cut nearly and inch of either end, so the bars are noticably narrower than stock.
-Aftermarket Rear rack was on this bike when stolen, it was a planet bike model but the log was removed. Ihe slots were pretty worn from carrying my lock.
-Seat - When stolen, this bike had a black San Marco saddle, I think it was the Ponza model, and the seat post was backwards in the seat tube (so the seat leaned forward instead of back)
-Cassette and chain - Brand new silver SRAM cassette and chain installed October 15th, 2012.
-Stock Right Crankarm and Chainring were replaced by goldish/greenish Shimano Components
-Gears - left gear shifter plastic housing was cracked.
-Brakes - new jagwire pads installed November 1, 2012.
-Rear Rim was pretty scored by a bad brake pad

Incident Description
Which type of area was your bike stolen from?:
Bike was in a locked apartment or residence.
How long was the bike locked in this location?:
United States
Incident Description:
The bike was in our locked back stairwell. Unbeknownst to me, the other apartment in our building was being shown, so apparently a few Realtors were given keys to the space. I imagine that either someone left the door ajar.
They also stole my crappy bell crash helmet and u-lock which seems strange.
