The Story Of the Stolen Bike

The Story Of the Stolen Bike, originally uploaded by Turtlepace.

You may remember that a few weeks ago I found my stolen Norco Hybrid bike in the ditch off Capilano Road. It was quite battered and needed some love, but the frame, crank, pedals etc seemed still ok. I had already replaced the bike with a used Norco Mountain bike and offered the bike to whoever could use the frame.
The response was overwhelming. Not only did my bike find a new owner, we also got a very kind offer from Dave the bike guy at DeD Metal Cycle Repair : “Hi, Saw your add was wondering if you would like me to fix the bike for you? At least that way whoever gets it will have a decent running bike just thought I would throw a little good karma back into the situation…I would be willing to do the labor for free the cost of the parts however would have to be picked up by yourself or the lucky person that gets it. Cheers, Dave”
Sounds like the new owner is taking Dave up on his kind offer.
A nice ending to this story.
