rode into work this morning. locked my bike in the racks no more than 20 feet from the security kiosk outside the parking structure. came out at 6pm to find nothing but the remnants of my lock. words can't describe just how PISSED i am. the worst part is i had just put on a new crankset, cluster, chain, pedals, handle bar, stem - full upgrades.

I drink this gin and tonic in remembrance of your bike. May its wheels seize and throw its new rider face first into a propeller.

Same thing happened to me man. Locked it up at work, 10 feet away from security, had a decent lock on it. Gone with in a three hour window. $1200 bike. Now I ride a piece of shit bike into work, and lock it up with 2 locks. I feel your pain. Best bet is to just buy a beater of a bike to ride to work on. Forget your old bike it is gone :(

Whoa! Do you work on Culver Blvd, right next to the 90? If so, I work directly next door to you! my agency, and south park (the cartoon) studios are directly west of you.
The strange and coincidental part of this, is that I just got ripped off too, last night! see my post about getting robbed. but... I was also burglarized a few months back in the same location. I've had a string of shit luck lately.
Anyhow, so sorry to hear about your bike but do you think there is any connection between my situation and yours? we should talk, email me.- you work at SK? or is it Team one thats there?
akrokdesign - I dont work at sk (not sure what that is). Ill email you, I dont like talking about specifics here.threadpost
