I am driving from Boston to Portland, OR. I am currently in Billings Montana where a couple of hours ago my bikes (which were locked to the rack) were stolen. One is a 2011 Trek Fuel EX 8 in matte black size 15.5” with Mavic tubeless wheels and a Thomson Seatpost and shimano m540 pedals.
The other is my beloved Surly 1x1 in green size 15” with dirty dog skull stem, Chris King headset & single speed hubs lace to surly large marge rims custom painted red. The cranks and pedals are green. A “tommy cog” is bolted to the rear hub making it fixed gear.
PLEASE REPOST! Maybe someone in Montana has seen them and I can be reunited with the 2 things that bring me happiness.
Please message me with questions or advice about stolen bikes in the mid west.
A police report has been filed but my job in PDX starts soon so I must keep moving.
Thank you.
If you don’t know Kevin Ayres, you should. He sadly died last night and exemplifies a breed of reluctant rock star that is almost extinct. Indeed, the industry does not permit young musicians to be like this anymore: eccentricity is barely allowed.
Read one of his final interviews here:

Through being a pivotal member of Soft Machine, and making incredible solo albums. he has influenced many bands and gathered new fans even though his releases were few and far between throughout his solo career.
Kevin; thank you….
Merckx MX Leader Ex-Team ASLK-CGER, a Belgian team from the 1990s which included Axel Merckx, ‘restoration’ done. The pic ion the bottom left is from 1996 and was from the original owner, Jurgen De Backer. It now sports original Campagnolo Record Titanium 8 speed group, original saddle plus bars and stem. It had been converted to Dura Ace plus lost original parts. #merckx #mxleader #prollyisnotprobably
