You need JavaScript enabled to view it Phone: 503-702-2708 A prototype folding bike built by famed builder Len Rubin was stolen from his yard in the Sellwood neighborhood Saturday night (it was unlocked). Rubin is something of a cult figure in the bike industry and he told me today that he has spent "years and a fortune" tweaking and refining this bike and that he and his family are devastated by its loss.  Photo of flyer by David Lowe-Rogstad. Flyers posted throughout the neighborhood read:
Rubin has dedicated much of his life to creating the ultimate folding bike. He was impressed with the Brompton, and after getting the blessing from Brompton founder Andrew Ritchie to clone his design, Rubin went to work refining and perfecting it. His vision was to make a super lightweight and compact "magical bike" that would be the "missing link" for multimodal transportation.
Read MORE from the local paper on this ONE-OF-A-KIND bike that can transform commuting and help make biking more effective for everyone. THIS BIKE SHOULD BE EASY TO SPOT!! Call Leonard Rubin ASAP if you see this bike!
NOTE: Because of the money invested in the development of this bike (hundreds of thousands over years), what may have been a casual theft is actually Grand Theft and will put the thief in prison if convicted. |
