Sounds like a photo would really help. I hope you have one. See http://bike-pgh.org/bbpress/topic/help-posting-photos for info on how to post it.
Stolen! Red Schwinn Ranger frame w/ upgrades
My red Schwinn Ranger was stolen on December 6th on Maple Heights rd., which is right off of 5th ave. near S. negley.
The frame is a little scratched, but no rust and may still have a wrap around metal twined bike lock spiraled around the top bar of frame.
It has silver "Scott" brand "bull-horn" handlebars with black "Oury" hand grips and a bike light. The handlebars are scratched up from removing the old shifters and have leftover eletrical tape residue and both ends are missing the plastic end caps
Black shimano v-brake 8spd shifters, which are also scratched
Either shimano Deore or Avid 8sp rear derailleur and stock front derailleur
Brand-new shimano dual-glide crank w/ black arms w/ wide studded metal pedals.
Bontrager rear bike rack with a red blinker-light attached Shimano disc brake on the front and regular pull brakes on the rear
also i had a clip on the frame for a bike pump, but no pump.
I dont know who would have stolen this mostly because i have yet to see anyother bike with my style of handlebars. If you have ANY information that can help me find my bike please email me @ j.h.attrill@gmail.com
