yet another STOLEN BIKE, on the local scene, this time John Franke's XtraCycle. From Mr. Franke, via email: "Friday night,9/19/08, my beloved Xtracyle (a wedding gift from my wife) was stolen right from our locked porch. I got out there moments after the d-bag split. I have put up posters around the neighborhood and am hoping to hear something back from them. This bike is a huge part of our families gettin'-around-ability. Please be kind enough to spread the word to whom ever may be of help, has an eye on the streets, and/or is looking to put a pole into the front wheel - which is fine by me I can replace that easily." It specs are as follows: - Silver Marin Frame - 8 speed Nexus hub and wheel (which I built) - Wide loader on the left side - One black leather handle bar grip on the left - an Our Own End and Chrome sticker on the board -1 Bag of dog shit I never got around to tossing My contact info is johnfranke@gmail.com Thank you very much, John Franke
