-MKS Touring pedals, silver
-PDW Bar-ista on handlebars, black
-Silver seapost
-Triple front crankset
-Black/grey U-Lock around the seat tube**
-XT rear derailleur
-XTR front derailleur
-Black plastic rear fender
-Bar-end shifters
-Avid v-brakes
-A ton of headtube spacers
-FSA Orbit XL II headset
-White MPLS Bike Love spoke card in rear wheel


I can be reached at (303) 974-0941. If spotted, please call the police, a report has been filed!

Thank you sincerely for your help,

Lucas

Many of us know the bike - I'll keep an eye out - sorry for your loss and the lot of us will try to apprehend the thief

Here's a more recent picture:



Still looking for this... and will continue to look, near and far, indefinitely.

It was taken by a taller, overweight Hispanic male, probably around 30 and I suspect he lives in the immediate area around the Rainbow Foods on Lake Street (http://goo.gl/maps/bgPWw) in South Minneapolis.

I genuinely appreciate all of the help/shares/etc!

Dang, sorry to hear this.

In an effort to educate, I would also l like to hear how it was stolen - did you lock it, or no? I've noticed my cables have marks where people tried to cut them. It's getting bad out there.

Keeping my eyes peeled...

Bummer dude, as a fellow CC owner and recent Big Dummy theft victim, I feel your pain. I'll keep a keen eye.

If someone steals my favorite bike I go ape shit. It's happened before. It's not pretty. I cry a lot. I hope someone spots it. Bring the thief to my house. I have a basement with real good sound channel and power tools.

Unlikely because of the "18in", but worth a shot. Looks like an idiots post, perhaps said idiot can't measure either.

Emailed on it -- it's a Moonlander. I have a picture of it... looks like a pretty stock Moonlader with black platform pedals. PM me if this is your bike as I have the poster's name as well!

It's spring now (kind of) and I still want this back. My contact information is listed in the first post -- please keep an eye out and get in touch if it's spotted!
