Road Bike

Condition of Bicycle / Distinguishing Features:
Good shape by appearance. Auxiliary hand-break levers installed on the upper handlebar. When stolen, it had a rack on the back, with a plastic purple crate [in bad shape] attached to that.

One side of the rear rack is anchored to the frame w/ a bungie cord [missing screw] and I think one of the toe clips was patched w/ a similarly makeshift connection.

I was about to bring it into the secure, locked gate of our back court year, then into the basement.

The bike was gone, along with the groceries, locks, and helmet in the rack. I scanned the area for awhile in my car to no avail.
