On May 8, 2005 my car window was smashed in and my beloved bike was stolen. I was visiting a friend in San Francisco after competing in the Wildflower triathlon. I am training for Ironman Canada…now without a bike! Please be on the look out for this bike. It is a 2004 Cannondale Ironman 5000 triathlon bike, 50 cm, serial number N218907. It is a beautiful two toned blue frame with 650 Zipp 404s. Please do not attempt to BUY this bike. A police report was filed and not a lot of these bikes are around so you will be found- if not plagued with loads of bad cycling karma. Aid in this bike’s recovery will be appreciated and REWARDED.
At one bike race last year, four or five bikes were stolen that were locked to the roof racks in San Francisco on a busy street. So it’s not safe in the city unless you can see it.
Check Craigslist.org in all the California metro areas. Bikes stolen in SF frequently make it to Davis and Sac, sometimes Santa Barbara or LA, depending on the ring. You will probably not find it in the Bay Area unless the thieves were amateurs.
