Absentminded this morning and distracted, I failed to verify info and/or hold an i.d. in hand prior to letting someone testride the bike in North Portland around the Arbor Lodge neighborhood.

It's a black 2009 Specialized Allez with new black 105 components, white wrapped handlbars.

The thief rolled up in a brown around-town bike with blue sidewall tires and "Despicable" in cursive blue lettering along the seattube (I know, ironic)... The police officer who took the report said that that bike is probable stolen too, so if that's possibly your bike check with them, they have it now.

Yes, I know I should've done a lot of things prior to allowing the test ride, I didn't have it all together this morning, I own that part. Expensive lesson learned.
