Went for a grocery run and came back out 10 minutes later to find my bike leaning over on my u-lock. Some lowlife unsuccessfully tried to steal it and trashed my frame in the process. I almost wish they would've just gotten away with the parts that weren't locked up and left the frame untouched. This was supposed to be my end game build and I'm just bummed that I likely won't be able to find another chrome Pista again. RIP

Ah, that sucks dude. Sorry to hear it.
What’s your general location? Is that a 55cm?
sorry to hear it
My condolences, man.
I would be fucking devastated.
Will it affect safety that much? (Providing you’re not doing triple backflips for nitro circus on it)
🤬🤬🤬
big F, my dude. very sorry for your loss
It’s a shame. I am sorry for your loss
find a frame builder, see if they can help? might be able to replace downtube and re-align
that’s so fucked up bro… rip indeed.
perhaps you may have luck finding a frame builder willing to fix it? the west coast has some really reputable builders that could get you the right tubing and get that bike back on the road. first name that comes to mind is Rodriguez up north in Seattle iirc, they build lots of custom frames and have been in the biz for a super long time now
There’s plenty out there especially on eBay don’t lose hope bro
Replace the downtube! And leave it unpainted. It’ll be sixk
WTF man sorry. This is one of my worst fears. They probably tried to break the lock using a crowbar. Hope you can find a new one. RIP :/
