bici rubata 560x375 Best Nonemore Ever Whats Been Stole

Sad news! Awesome bike… STOLE.
A good reminder not to over-rely on that Krypto, boys and girls…

krypto 560x403 Best Nonemore Ever Whats Been Stole

Here’s a fun google translation of the article, for science. It’ll hurt your brain in places, but still.

"Yet another bike fell victim of expropriation organized by the dark forces who want us walking on a bike manufactured in China.
Stiamo parlando di una bici storica, per molto tempo il suo proprietario è infatti stato il reverendo Menthos, sotto le sue branchie ischiopubiche più volte ha visto il sole alzarsi sulle isole di Venezia al termine della serenissima attraversata estiva. We’re talking about a historic bike for a long time its owner is in fact was the Rev. Menthos under its gills ischiopubic repeatedly saw the sun rise on the islands of Venice at the end of summer Serene crossed.
Leggera e aggressiva, asciutta e scattante il suo fascino non passava inosservato. Lightweight and aggressive, lean and sleek charm did not go unnoticed. La kryptonite toglieva le forze a Superman, ma non è servita a tenere lontano la malvagità del mondo, che si accanisce contro il bello, che lo vuole mediocre e senza ruote. The kryptonite to Superman off his forces, but has not served to ward off evil in the world that persecutes the beautiful, who wants him mediocre and without wheels.
Ora, tra mani indegne non credo lei soffra, farà sempre quello per cui è stata progettata, portare il cuore di un uomo lontano nello spazio e nel tempo. Now, in unworthy hands do not think she is suffering, will always be the one for which it was designed, bring the heart of a man far away in space and time.

La cronaca: Telaio Dedacciai, guarnitura Miche, sella SMP, legata con Kryptonite Evolution Mini e cavo Kryptonite per le ruote. Chronicle: Frame Dedacciai, Miche crankset, saddle SMP, tied with Kryptonite Evolution Mini and Cable Kryptonite for the wheels. Rubata sabato 30 gennaio 2010 dalle 9 alle 10 in via Orazio di fronte al Liceo Manzoni. Stolen Saturday, January 30, 2010 from 9 to 10 in front of the Liceo Orazio via Manzoni. Zona Sant’ Ambrogio. Area Sant ‘Ambrogio. Giornata serena. Clear day. Numerose altre bici legate affianco. Many other bike-related next. Quartiere signorile. Upmarket district. A due passi da via Torino. A few steps away from Turin. Tutto ciò non ha impedito a qualche povero fallito di riempire (probabilmente) di scintille il marciapiede e di andarsene con la refurtiva. All this has not prevented some poor failed to fill (probably) sparks the sidewalk and leave with the swag.
Da citare l’ adesivo posto tra pipa e forcella che cita: L’ ANARCOCICLISMO TI ODIA …e continua a farlo One must also mention the ‘sticker placed between pipe and bracket quotes: L’ ANARCOCICLISMO hates you … and continues to do so"
