On Monday I finished a bike build that centered around a Specialized 2010 Allez. It was stealth black (with red s-works decals on the downtube), running full Ultegra, Mavic Kysrium Elite S wheels, 3T ARX stealth stem and Ergonova bars, and specialized carbon post and Romin Pro full carbon saddle. It's a one of a kind and there really aren't any around like this. On Tuesday afternoon, on my first ride into the office (Covent Garden), the bike was stolen. The courtyard that the bike was in is a buzzed entry system but they got in, bolt cropped the lock that secured the bike to the iron railing that was directly outside my office door and had it away. So less than 16 miles on my new bike and it was gone. The thing that really, really hurts is the work I've put into it over the past 3 weeks - the paint job, the building, the sourcing parts etc. I will happily offer a reward to any information that leads to its safe return. Gutted, really really gutted...
