RECOVERED!! See this comment for details.
[Posted by user “jasonyc”]
This is my wife’s bike that I built-up for her. She’s distraught and I WILL find it with your help. It has a black, brazed steel lug frame with white decal lettering. This unique frame is powered by a rather rare SRAM Dual Drive 3X9 drivetrain. It was pieced together with primarily Bontrager components (see included pictures). The lock was cut and the bike stolen from the racks out in front of the Ecotrust building (at NW 10th and Johnson) in the Pearl District of Portland on Jan. 24, 2006 between 5:00pm and 5:45pm.
If found or sighted (bike in whole or it’s individual components), please reach me anytime at:
Work- (971) 249-7565,
Cell- (512) 799-7433, or
e-mail- jason_y_c@hotmail.com
I will offer a nice reward if it can be returned to us intact.
Thanks for reading.

Jason, if I see it I guaruntee you’ll get it back. My only question is what kind of lock were you using? Knowing what types of locks thieves are targetting can help all of us who love our bikes. Hopefully you will hear/see something about your bike soon.
This bike has been recovered! Here’s the email I just received from Jason:
i never though i would see a bike in this list but my friend bought it off some dude at the exact same time it became missing, i saw it and thought it a little odd. then the same night i saw the ad here, i’m glad you got it back.
