2010 Cannondale CX9 CAAD9 Cyclocross bike

What happened

I locked up at 5.30pm on March 24th on the south west side of Milwaukee. It was locked up about ten feet northwest of the entrance to Hairitics Salon. Ten feet north of Hairitics is a closed business store front. I locked up the rear wheel and frame to a sign for paying the parking meter (one of the new paybox signs that the new meter boxes need). I did not lock up the front wheel because it has a Pitlock locking skewer, which doesn't "require" a lock on its own. I left from my appointment at 7pm and the bike and lock were gone. It was an older style Kryptonite U-Lock.

Condition

This bike is a 2010 Cannondale CX9 CAAD9 Cyclocross bike size 52cm. It is one year 4 months old (bought it in November 2009), it looks new with very few signs of wear, no significant scratches or dents or otherwise odd nuances (the brake pads are severely worn down, and there was a lot of winter dirt and grime on it when it was stolen). It is all black with white details and lettering. I have built it with a custom parts pick, it is not and off-the-shelf bike. Its distinguishing parts and features are; Easton carbon-fiber fork painted to match bike, a black Arione Fizik saddle, carbon-fiber Tru-Vativ seatpost, RaceFace Revolution bar, Easton EA70 stem, Avid Shorty's (Cyclocross Canti's), Sram Red, Force, & Rival drivetrain > 10speed, handbuilt wheels (by me) > silver Mavic OpenPros with 105 hubs > 32 hole, black SKS full fenders, Conti 700X28 Gatorskin tires, the front skewer is a PitLock locking skewer, the headset spacers are on the top of the stem, and old school SR Sakae Low Fat MTB pedals (the bronze ones, way broken in). Last but not least it has a little rubber gasket that I placed between the bottom side of the headtube and the fork crown to seal off the lower bearings in the headset, which is very discreet. In my opinion this is a very very nice Cyclocross bike turned heavy-winter commuter style bike.
