Stolen in Anaheim

My Fuji Track got jacked in East Anaheim this afternoon. The lock was compromised and missing as well.
It's hard to miss, being a 64cm of the colourful 2001 model. Other than OE parts, it was sporting Nitto aluminum track drops with black noname grips, 80mm Nitto Technomic stem, Fizik Dolomiti ti railed saddle with yellow scuffguards, and spanking new Ritchey race tires. The rear wheel is not stock either because I rebuilt it with DT Champion 2.0 spokes, whereas the front wheel still has those cheesy chinese spokes.

As I ride regularly in the north O.C., I'm keeping my peepers peeled for this bike. The most outstanding features are the paint job and the frame size. Should be easy to spot, even if the scumbags repaint it.
Man, I really hate bicycle theves.
Especially when they steal from friends of mine.

seriously, if there was ever a tree like a redwood that had military training, it would be named jerome. i hope someone else finds the bike and not jerome himself because bad bad bad things will happen.

Good news, Tone recovered my bike on Wednesday afternoon in Anacrime. It was being piloted by some dirt merchant who had a bunch of shit strapped to it. The paint is a little worse for wear and the saddle took a few hits, being scuffed through the leather on one side, but the wheels are straight and the Ritchey Race tires are barely worn. The aforementioned dirt merchant told Tone he got it for $40 from some dude. What a fucking piece of shit. Thanks to all who were looking out for it and especially to Tone for putting the grab on it.
