BIKEPGH MESSAGE BOARD ARCHIVE

On December 23 my 2005 Bianchi Axis was stolen from the University of Pittsburgh. Please keep an eye out for it. Here's a picture of the stock bike: http://www.bianchiusa.com/05_axis.html, but there are some modifications that make it pretty distinctive:

1.Crank brothers eggbeater pedals

2.Tubus rear rack with toplight permament light

3.Custom built wheels – Velocity rims

4.Specialized Armadillo tires (700x38 I think)

5.Black SKS fenders

6.Crosstop brake levers

7.Black/reflective-silver handlebar tape

8.“One less car” sticker on top tube

Thanks for your help. If you know of any other ways of getting the word out, or suggestions for recover, please let me know.

BTW, it was stolen because I dropped the key to my nice strong U-lock by the bike, and the key had a matching orange color to the lock. Pretty stupid, but it's something to watch out for (and a reason not to buy a lock with a color-matching key!)
