STOLEN RALEIGH DELTA sighting

in
  • dundas west and dufferin

*from a slowly moving vehicle on friday evening

*i was compelled to not leave the truck and get it
and when i had rounded up someone to go and put a lock on it, it was already gone. yay for friends and for sms. boo for malicious bike thieves. and anyone who might buy from them.

i am absolutely certain that this was my bike. first time i'd actually seen it since it was taken from me. so someone is riding it. as i went through the detail check, we were already driving away. i am kicking myself for being less assertive about reclaiming my property than i ought to have been.

58 cm black raleigh delta

9 spd shimano deore rear hub on a deeper presta rim
front is i think joytech hub on an x rim

as of friday:

  • same saddle, racing profile. has a circular saw blade embroidered into it. grey highlights on black.
  • same fenders. black plastic - planet bike style
  • wheels. same wheels. security skewers.
  • same bar tape. red/orange.

please let me know anything you know about this bike. clearly i am still attached to it. whoever is riding it has removed my rack but i still have the key for the krypto lock that was/ is on the rack. yes, it was unlocked when it was stolen from the bike shop where i was working at the time. a moment of inattention and a malicious person make for unfortunate results.

photos and my old ad. george's shop has moved again and he has a different phone number.
