Custom Schwinn Road Bike (one speed)

What happened

The bike was locked to a city bike rack in front of Landmark restaurant and Royal George theater on a busy Friday night during dinner hours, car valets were 100 ft away and said they saw nothing. The lock was cut and the bike stolen. I custom built the bike, many different brands of parts, the new brown velo saddle and exposed metal bull horn handles would visually stand out from a distance and up close the chipped grey frame paint would reveal specs of purples and whites from previous paint jobs.
