I'll keep my eye out for it. post a picture if you can although i think a giant nove will be quite noticeable.

Sorry to hear about your bike.

Given the size of the frame it seems unlikely that the thief knew much about bikes, unless he plans on selling it to someone equally clueless about bikes. The market for 64's must be very limited.

Good luck getting it back. Will your insurance cover it?

[unotache]

Yes, all four bikes are huge, and should be hard to pawn. Im digging for pictures and my serial number. I do have insurance, but would much rather have the bikes back.

[Steelhead]

Now there is a bike that won't be hard to spot. Good Luck. What happened?? Open garage door? Burglary?

[William]

I keep my eye on bikes in that size range so I'll certainly let you know if I see one matching the description popping up.

Of the four bikes that were stolen, the NSPX is the one I would really like to find. It was my first real road bike, won a race or two, and I think it may have been the first Serotta sold through Gregg's Greenlake Cycles in Seattle WA. I'm sure it will surface months from now, so I appriciate all of you keeping an eye out.

what warms my heart is the picture of a guy who FITS that bike geting even withg someone small and dumb enought to steal it. :fight: :beer:

[unotache]

This is a bit delayed, but I thought I would share a good story for all to enjoy for the weekend. My Serotta NSPX was recovered by the Portland Police.
See link (http://bikeportland.org/2007/03/26/theft-victim-giddy-over-recovery-of-stolen-bikes/) for more of the story.
