FOUND on Penn Avenue: Abandoned front wheel & tire with disk break

On my way to work this morning I found on Penn Avenue an abandoned front wheel & tire with disk break. There was no bike-around in sight, so since I was still close to my place, I took it home for safe keeping.


Anybody missing one? Or knows someone who is missing one? Can you tell me the tire-brand-type?


Seriously -Kind of an odd-find, but if it belongs to someone, let me know

hyphen-love! :D

Frankly, I wouldn't have even noticed if grammar-nazi Scott didn't say anything! :P


I hope it finds its owner!

Of course it's atrocious!!!! -but how? Enlighten me! ...... :D


(no seriously, that's the only way I learn).


Grammar is not the forte of bikeygirl since english is her second-language, specially when I'm writing on-a-rush.


Is it "disc-break" ?


"k" is kooler than "c" :D


Haha -thanks for the shout-out headloss!

I think you should give Scott a Spanish spelling test :)

I hope the owner can be reunited with the wheel. So nice of you to keep it safe.

I think it belongs to this guy, but he doesn't seem to need it,

Ahhh....... disk brake.... Muchas Gracias :)


But no, seriously, someone come claim it! Or I'll take it to freeride or something

close.. it's "disc" and I would love a Spanish lesson. Learning Spanish is on my bucket list.

Ooh, ooh - Spanish language ride for Bikefest!

It would be useful to know the difference between someone saying "would you like some water?" and "there is an enormous man-eating dog around the corner".

Hrm..... @edmonds: that's a thought.


I've actually had an idea for a ride/ alleycat that revolves around certain Mexican-related board game....


Hrm... will ponder this further....


(I mean)


Voy a pensar esto mas a fondo....

Maybe post a message on Craigslist? What size is it?
