Yeah,
 
 I saw you fly by in them. I just had not seen them on sale before. [/b]
I used to get pretty good deals on them on ebay - I think the guy who imported them was selling em on ebay for less than retail

Thanks for the bike suggestions everyone, but it looks like I won't be needing them after all.  My wife just called a few hours ago, and apparently the thief was kind enough to return my bike back to our front porch!  I always said that bike wasn't even worth stealing!

You're welcome.  If I had known it was yours, I never would have "borrowed" it without asking.  I was just drunk and felt like a a ride home.

This is unfortunate, because it will deprive Markie of a reason for talking about what a k00l biker he is (despite having trouble with basic maintenance and staying on a bike)

Just an FYI...
 
 It seems my bike was partially stripped when it was stolen.  The bike itself is in perfect (well, as perfect as it ever was) working condition.  They did see fit to keep my helmet, which cost almost twice the bike itself, my rusted-out cable lock, and my front headlight.  Thankfully, the back light was left.
 
 How odd...

Well Markie bought one of these today   <img src="http://bikemag.com/gear/bikes/redline-29-450.jpg" alt=" - " />
 
 His old one-geared MTB that was $280 from ebay was starting to get very tired. The new 29er is heavy, but looks pretty durable, but it was only $470

I just bought a Trek Hybrid Fitness Bike for about $500.
 
 Model TREK 7.3FX Disc I like it thus far. Plus the hydraulic disc brakes are great for quick stopping.
