About a week ago my bike got stolen. I was pretty devastated. I had just finished the build a few weeks prior down to the last part. Unfortunately I had left the bike outside the front door , while in a rush to get to work. It was stolen and after a day or two I had began to give up all hope. Thanks to this subreddit. And bunch of bike community friends we were able to locate the bike, and arrange a pretty civil repossession. Aside from a terrible paint job to the stem and sprocket which were very hard to find, and probably cant replace easily… all else is intact.. so I cant be too mad. Thanks to so many people for keeping their eyes peeled. And going the extra mile to Crack this case so fast .. safe to say this bike will never leave my sight again.. huge shout out to the bike bros.

Celebrate with a flip whip!
So awesome you got her back!!!! That’s a sick build!
Hell yeah
Citristrip should peel the paint you don’t want off.
Dude, hell yeah!!! I had a similar story way back. Through word of mouth we found out who had it. Asked, they denied. Called the cops, they didn’t find shit, after the cop left, homie came over with all the parts spray painted. Said his bro had my frame and wanted money for it. We said sure, met up, got the frame back without money….
This is awesome. I’m sure you have been told this before but bro get an AirTag or any tracking device that doesn’t rattle and either tape it under your seat or if you can just tape it into the Frame tube it makes tracking your bike down a hell of a lot easier
