John Doe No. 438

[rickpaulos]

I interrogated the next door neighbor who has lived here far longer. He recounted stories of shooting scores of rabbits in my back yard with a prior resident. I thought some of those holes in the main tubes looked like bullet holes... o o o 0 0 0 O O O

This is a very cool build! Thanks for the suspense and intrigue.

During what was a very encouraging examination of the progress of his surface healing after only four treatment applications, another anatomical characteristic was noted as being significant information for our inquiry into the identity of the subject.
1. The Bottom Bracket Shell is offset from the centerline of the frame. The right side measures 44mm from center, while the left side is only 41mm. The overall width of the shell being 85mm, this is certainly too great a difference to be considered an oversight by his creator.



2. Also found during said examination were the faintly visable numbers 2-6-2 stamped into the right side of the seat pin lug.

More questions and still no answers.

While treatments are taking place, some of the few posessions the victim still had were being cleaned, restored, and readied to be reunited with their owner when he is well enough to accomodate them.



This humble writer cannot help but wonder at the tenacity with which our chief inspector has attacked this most mystifying problem. What unusual character makeup would drive one so?



Is he just curious? There must be more to it than that.

This is my favorite build threat!
A cool bike and a great write up on everything....can't wait for the next episode.

the offset was probably something standard during that time to provide the clearence space for the chainring

i think is one of these

[axsepul]

the chainring doesn't look the same but nice picture anyway

Bring him in to try to identify the body.........Then do some "interrogation" on him.....I think he could be a prime suspect.

Cold case?

Well, Here it is August 1 already and although we didn't make the deadline, we are most encouraged by the John's progress. The fork has completely recovered and the main frame is at ninety percent and improving daily. The team has begun preparations to re-install the few components which were still in his possession when he arrived.


Thanks to all the other builders who were amazing.
