Mein Fahrrad Was Stolen Last Night

I received an email from my business partner, Mark Harrison, at 0500 this morning that I saw when I woke up this morning,

:-( All three bikes got stolen last night. Fuck.

The three bikes in question were my SOMA Delancey single speed and Mark’s old reliable Giant mountain bike, a bike that Mark has owned for probably more than a decade, and a spare green piece-of-shit

Well, I really loved my SOMA Delancey single speed and can highly recommend getting one. Since they sell the Delancey as a frame, I got to build the bike up from the frame, and really bought some amazing components for her.

I really had her dolled up with a Miche crank, a Chris King headset, a Brooks Professional saddle, a Shimano 105 brake, a Salsa stem and seat tube, and a gorgeous wee two-finger brake lever. She was nimble but she was not a fixed-gear bike, she was a single-speed. I will miss her and I am sorry that she was stolen.

May she rest in peace.

Since I don’t have a car in Berlin I flew over my bike, a SOMA Delancey single speed with a Chris King headset, Miche Pista crank set, a Salsa stem and seatpost, and an awesome copper Brooks saddle. Not a fixie but single speed with a front brake, a Shimano 105. Thank you to the guys from Capitol Hill Bikes who helped me build her up from the frame and fork.
