Basic Bike Info
Bicycle Type:
Road Bike
Serial No.:
Will update later if I find the old picture I took of it.
Size:
63 cm
Color:
Army Green
Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
The Surly logo on the frame is slightly worn, so parts of the lettering are chipped away. This goes for the "Long Haul Trucker" and "Fatties Fit Fine" letting on the frame as well. It has two break systems, traditionally positioned and suicide breaks. The adjustment for the gears is positioned on the bottom diagonal of the frame, below where the handlebars meet the frame. There is a shiny silver waterbottle holder. Ninja tires, bike smart saddle. 24 gears. Full tire fenders of black plastic material. The bike is large and very easily identifiable. I have yet to see another one like mine anywhere, ever.

Incident Description:
I went to a Fado's Irish Pub to participate in the running club that meets Thursdays 6:00 PM. I locked my bike across the street, in front of the Maggiano's on Grand Ave. at the corner of Clark St. I left for a run at 6:15 PM and after returning to the same location (outside Fado's on Grand Ave) I waited for the group to return. We went inside for food and drinks around 6:55 - 7:00 PM. I checked on the bike before going inside. When I came back out around 8:00 - 8:15 PM the bike was missing. There was no lock or sign of how the theft went down. I had a weak combo cable lock through the front wheel, frame, and metal upside down "u" shaped bike lock. The bike was curbside. I think that someone cut the lock and rode off or threw it into a pickup. The area was high traffic the whole time I was away from the bike.
