STOLEN SURLY FARLEY. If you see this bike, please respond to this post. I was away on a trip, arriving today at 2AM. Got home, and this bike was missing. It was locked to another bike under the stairs of my small condo building. They stole the Farley but not the Surly Steamroller, which had the U-lock around the rear triangle/rear wheel... so they cut the cable and took the fat bike. It is unique looking. If you see it, say something.
